Buy Awesome Music to Help Cure Cancer with Songs for the Cure ’11
Prepare to cross “helping in the fight against cancer” off of your life’s To-Do list. The American Cancer Society is hoping to raise $10,000 by April 29th and they have no intention of leaving your generosity unrewarded. Far from it, in fact!
By making a donation as low as $10, you can receive not one, but three full length Songs for the Cure albums in digital form. Bump your donation up to $15 or more and you’ll even get physical copies of all three albums.
You might be wondering what all this has to do with video games. As it turns out, the over 40 artists involved with the albums include a number of Indie Game composers, OverClocked ReMix veterans, and even some musicians from bigger titles.
Among the artists are C418 (Minecraft), Danny B (Super Meat Boy), Alexander Brandon (Deus Ex), Jake “virt” Kaufman (Contra 4), Souleye (VVVVVV), Wilbert Roget II (Monkey Island 2), Jimmy “Big Giant Circles” Hinson (Mass Effect 2) and Joshua Morse (Bad Dudes) to name a few. See for yourself at how insanely promising this list is.
100% of your donation goes to the American Cancer Society to help “victims, families, and researchers for the care, treatment, and abolishment of cancer.” You can preorder the album by donating now or order the albums at a slightly higher price from Bandcamp, iTunes, AmazonMP3, or CDBaby after they release on March 29th.
