ONE Hawaii members Kekoa and Kona, along with new members Shana, Meghan and Analisa rocked out at the Daughtry concert at the Kaka`ako Amphitheater in Honolulu. We got there before the gates opened and connected with the fans in line to raise awareness.
Some fans had been waiting in line since the early morning just to be one of the first to get in and enjoy the opening acts by local rock groups. It rained earlier in the day but when the concert started, the skies cleared and we were able to enjoy a fantastic tropical Hawaiian sunset followed by a starlit sky when Daughtry took the stage.
Alterna-rockers and longtime ONE supporters Daughtry have been doing some major representing for ONE this past week — and we wanted to take the chance to thank them here on the ONE blog.
Although the band has a seriously crazy schedule filled with press interviews, TV appearances, gigs and all the trappings of fame and stardom, they’ve always found the time to express their commitment to ending extreme poverty and preventable disease.
And this week, celebrity gossip blog PopEater came out with an awesome multimedia story on a day in the life of Daughtry. Scrolling through the video and photos, we were absolutely psyched to see that lead vocalist Chris Daughtry sported a ONE band throughout the day.
Take a look at the videos and if you have the chance, send a Tweet to Daughtry and thank ‘em for supporting ONE.
Just got back from the Daughtry concert at the Today Show. ONE volunteers from around New York poured in to show support for the band and help raise awareness about our issues. Josh Steely from the band was even sporting a ONE t-shirt! It was really cool to see so many supports and volunteers gather in the early morning to enjoy great music and raise awareness. Check out some of the pictures below!
This morning, you may have caught Daughtry’s live performance on The Today Show. Daughtry are long-time supporters of ONE, so ONE members turned out in force in ONE shirts rocking out with the band. Our own Matthew McAllister was in attendance and will be reporting back shortly about what he saw and heard this morning.
ONE members had a blast this weekend at the Daughtry shows in Hershey, Penn., and the Tropicana Showroom in Atlantic City, N.J. As fans arrived at both venues, our ONE teams shared information about ONE’s work in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable, treatable diseases in the world’s poorest countries.
We also got Chris Daughtry himself to retweet us on Twitter: “Very awesome!!! RT @barbiedoll869: @CHRIS_Daughtry ONE team got 482 new members tonight!”
Not only were we able to raise awareness for ONE this weekend, but we also added more than 600 new members! Big thanks to Daughtry and their terrific fans for two great nights!
