The Edge Marks Ten Years of His New Orleans Charity

September 1, 2015

NEW YORK (AP) — When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans 10 years ago, The Edge of U2 started a charity to help the musicians there. A decade later, he’s proud to point to the accomplishments that his Music Rising charity has done. Music Rising says in a statement it has given $5 million in musical instruments to 30 Gulf Coast schools, became the largest purchaser of Hammond organs to replace ones in churches hit by the hurricane, and helped create a $1 million music curriculum at Tulane University. The Edge says he felt music would be crucial to the healing process, and he wants to support the New Orleans music scene “so it can do its magic for many generations to come.”
