In addition to reuniting for a summer tour, pop-ska band No Doubt has just announced the launch of its own charitable foundation which the band hopes to use to host charity events, auctions and outreach to help raise funds for organizations in need.
The band intends to auction of VIP tickets packages, memorabilia and chances to meet the band as a way to raise money for four charities picked by the band members.
According to the band’s website, 60% of proceeds will be immediately distributed to the four main charities (as yet, unnamed), while the remaining 40% will be distributed to other charities and emergency relief efforts throughout the year, and used to fund the daily operations of the No Doubt Foundation.
Additionally, the foundation will post a full accounting of funds at the end of the year for fans to review, in case anyone is actually that bored.
The VIP/Meet and Greet packages are available for each of the dates on No Doubt’s 2009 Tour.
Packages are up for auction until June 2, 2009 (minimum bid is $2,000 for a four-ticket package), so get in on the action while you can. Visit the band’s official auction page for details on bidding on No Doubt tickets and the chance to meet Gwen Stefani…and the rest of the band, we guess.
