Sunday, September 6th marked the first KANPE benefit event ever held in the United States, taking place at SoHo Grand Hotel (New York, NY) with exclusive performances by Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, Arcade Fire and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Thanks to the generosity of the guests, the evening raised a net amount of US$ 31,800 to support KANPE’s mission in Haiti.

We are very grateful to Régine Chassagne and Dominique Anglade, co-founders of KANPE, as well as Win Butler and the members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for their support.

We also thank Rhum Barbancourt, LightSpeed, m0851 and the SoHo Grand Hotel.
