U2 have long been known for putting their
money where their mouths are, especially Bono who makes just as many headlines
for his causes than he does for his music. Now the Irish pop group have
come to the aid of the Irish chapter of the One In Four, an organization
that is said to help those who suffered sexual abuse as children.
The One In Four organization was in financial
distress and was in danger of having to shut their doors when the band
and their manager Paul McGuinness stepped up to the plate with a donation
of 40,000 Euros (a little over $46,000 US Dollars).
The bands management issued this statement,
"The members of U2 and their manager have offered to provide to One In
Four 40,000 Euros (US $46,360) to enable this wonderful organization to
continue its vital and important work for a further month, while the government
gets it together to do the right thing."
