Linkin Park, Fort Minor, and Music for Relief have teamed up with the non-profit organization FRIENDS AND HELPERS to help provide and hand out school supplies to students of various New Orleans Schools. The 17 schools in the Louisiana Recovery school district are being rebuilt after being damaged severely by hurricane Katrina and the resulting floods. Schools in the Recovery Districts are those that need the most academic and financial help.

This Friday August 18th Mike Shinoda will appear on Los Angeles radio station KROQ's the Kevin and Bean show to announce the bands' participation in the event. They plan on traveling to the schools to begin handing out supplies to school students on September 10, 11, and 12th. Visit www.KROQ.com to listen to Kevin and Bean if you are not in the LA area.
