serious request campaign


In the Netherlands the week before X-mas three dj's from the station 3FM raised money for the Red Cross-water for the world- campaign.
They did this with a marathon-broadcast under the name "serious request". People could do a donation by giving money for a musical request. The three dj's let themself lock up for 6 day in a glass house in the middle of The Hague without any food. Only water and some juices. They were playing all the requests. People from all over the country donated lots of money.. 25, 50 100 etc. euro for their request.But also many companys donated money.After 6 days they raised 5 milion euro ( 6,25 milion dollar). This is a lot of money for our small country with 17 million inhabitants ( try to think how much that should be in USA)
The glass house was also to be seen on the TV. So you could see the three dj's day and night.

Sitting in front of the TV I made this sketch of this 3 heroes and mailed to them. They were so busy so there was not a reaction yet. I hope they will in time.
