January 22, 2010Internationally renowned musical group EVANESCENCE and its founder and lead singer, Amy Lee, announced today they are partnering with the United Nations Foundation to raise money for the United Nations' relief efforts in Haiti.

"The UN is rising to the challenge in this time of need and we are grateful for the support of EVANESCENCE to help the UN provide food, water, medicine and emergency relief," said Aaron Sherinian, Executive Director of Communications and Public Affairs for the UN Foundation. "The UN's leadership is vital to helping the people of Haiti today, and in rebuilding during the weeks and months to come."
