For Immediate Release: October 23, 2001 Contact: Art Shulman Phone: (203)354-5130
WASHINGTON, D.C., - Musicians raising money for the "United We Stand" benefit concert at RFK Stadium performed not only to help victims, but also to raise funds aimed squarely at preventing future acts of terrorism.

At the request of the White House, the concert's organizers added the Rewards for Justice Fund (www.RewardsFund.us) to the list of charitable organizations that received proceeds from the event, which features such artists as Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Aerosmith, Bette Midler, P. Diddy, Mariah Carey, Destiny's Child, and many more. The event raised more than $200,000 for the Rewards for Justice Fund.
The Rewards for Justice Fund (www.RewardsFund.us) is a new, non-profit charitable organization that was created in the days following the brutal attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, in answer to millions of Americans who asked, "How can I help in the fight against terrorism?"
The Fund will deliver 100 percent of the donations it raises from members of the public to the U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice Program, a highly successful effort that uses reward payments to identify and apprehend individuals who are planning, or have committed, terrorist acts. Since its establishment in 1984, the Rewards for Justice Program has played a key role in the apprehension of dozens of terrorists around the world, including Ramzi Ahmed Yousef, who is now behind bars for his role in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
Americans can donate to the U.S. fight against terrorism by logging onto www.RewardsFund.us or by calling toll-free 1 US REWARDS FUND (1-877-392-7373), and making a donation with their credit card. All credit card purchases are secure and the Fund guarantees anonymity. Also, individuals can donate by sending a check to the Rewards for Justice Fund, P.O. Box 96537, Washington, D.C. 20090.
"One of the most powerful weapons in the war against terrorism can be found in every American's wallet and purse: the U.S. dollar," said Joe Rutledge, who co-founded the Fund with Case. "The Rewards for Justice Fund ensures that every American has the opportunity to use that weapon as fully as possible, to help bring terrorists to justice, before they strike again." According to federal anti-terrorist experts, unseen supporters and sympathizers - on whom terrorists frequently rely to remain undetected while preparing their strikes - have often shown they are willing to turn in terrorists, in exchange for reward payments.
