Come See Jabbawockeez Perform Live in NYC - July 12th!
10:37PM by 
Hoc
For the past few weeks Ningin and Museum of Chinese America have been secretly planning a massive Charity Event for the victims of the Sichuan Earthquake. It took us a while, but we finally have the big details locked down. Jabbawockeez is the main performing artist along with Ryan Leslie, Beau Sia, and Andrew Choi. Also special guest appearances by Park Jin Young (JYP) and Ken Leung, aka Miles from the TV show Lost. The incredible Minya Oh, Miss Info of HOT 97, will be the event host. There’s more performers and celebrities pending confirmation, but it’s a pretty big lineup already.
Save the date! Saturday July 12th, 7:30pm at Pace University’s Michael Schimmel Center of the Arts Auditorium!
100% of the proceeds from this event goes directly to MercyCorps.
While this is all fun and entertaining, the overriding goal is to maintain awareness of the earthquake victims in China and the cyclones in Burma. Already these disasters have fallen of the headlines in mainstream media but tens of millions of people need our help there and will continue to need help for many years to come.
This Jabbawockeez headlined performance is really just the first step towards that goal. Ningin and many others will partner together to develop a special microsite dedicated to maintaining awareness for these victims and we welcome anyone else who wants to join the cause. I’ll update what this entails as more details get confirmed. For now, if you are an Asian blogger or a blog that covers Asian stuff, contact me via Ningin private message to see how you can get a ticket to this event and get involved!

HOLY CRAP THAT’S SO HOT! You guys are absolutely amazing for all the work you do!!!! Please please do an event in LA and I’ll be there!
Woah hey, how did you get Jabba to do this? Man you guys must be rich!
On the contrary, everyone involved is volunteering their time and efforts to some extent. Really, it’s been phenomenal how many different groups and entities are involved.
Omg Jabbawockeez! I wish I was in NY to see this. If I had a car I would drive up there myself!
So you’re saying the 10,000,000+ homeless people in China are less important?
Hey I know you’re from SCAT so no need to pretend here. I don’t see how our event interferes with yours. We don’t go around saying negative stuff about your event, so it kinda makes you look bad to say bad stuff about ours, which by the way, has the potential to raise tens of thousands with every penny going to charity.
A. I’m not even going to read what you said because you typed in all caps.
That’s it all.
They’re both charity events, I don’t see how one can be more important than the other.
hey i was linked to the new blog about jabawockeez not appearing anymore, what happened to that blog?
Jabba has been replaced in the lineup with a pair of New York based crews presented by the makers of PLANET B-BOY. They will be having a B-Boy battle, and it will be awesome...!

Tomorrow, I may end up going alone. And late,so if you see a chick with a curly afro,walking around looking confused: that’s me.lol
