Hello again! Open Mickers... get ready to ROCK FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!!
{{MALAYSIANS ROCKIN’ FOR THE ENVIRONMENT}}

We invite you to be a part of ROCKIN’ FOR THE ENVIRONMENT event. In collaboration with an initiative kickstarted by local music band, BENCHMARX, marketing communication company GO INTERNATIONAL GROUP is organising a two-day arts, music and educational festival to commemorate Earth Week.

Titled ‘ROCKIN’ FOR THE ENVIRONMENT’, musicians as well as NGOs and eco-friendly commercial organisations will each play a part in raising funds for the ORANGUTAN APPEAL UK to help support and raise awareness of the plight of the endangered Orang Utan species.

o In 2007, TURTLE ROCK raised RM7000+ for SeaTru (now known as TRRG).
o In 2008, TIGER ROCK raised RM11,000+ for MyCat.
o In 2009, ORANG UTAN ROCK aims to raise even more for the Orangutan Appeal UK!

The program, initiated by the hottest expat rock band, BENCHMARX, takes place during Earth Week and raises vital funds and awareness for conservation and environmental education oriented NGO's in Malaysia.
