Gospel Music Benefit Concert For Katrina Victims - Concerning the Katrina crisis in the Gulf Coast region, the Gospel Music Channel is partnering with the Gospel Music Association, Paxson Communications Corporation’s i (formerly PAX TV), and veteran promoter Peter Conlon to nationally televise a live benefit concert of hope, Gospel Angels, featuring acclaimed Christian music artists. The concert will take place at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park.

“America is facing an unprecedented crisis of people torn from their homes and left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. It’s critical that we step up to meet this next phase of the crisis in their lives, providing tangible assistance as well as hope, which gospel music communicates like no other music,” said Charley Humbard, co-founder of the Gospel Music Channel which is producing Gospel Angels.

At the time when victims are desperately in need of hope, love, and inspiration, the gospel music industry wishes to fulfill these through this God-centered benefit concert.

The concert will provide refugees with physical needs as well. 100% of the money raised through ticket sales and donations from concertgoers and viewers of the national broadcast will go to hurricane victims through relief organizations including World Vision and Feed the Children

The program will air Thursday, Sept. 22
Gospel Music Channel - 7:00pm, 10:00pm EDT
i(formerly PAX TV) - 8:00pm, 10:00pm EDT.
