Victims of Hurricane Katrina are attempting to recover from the massive storm that is still making its way across the Mid-Atlantic States. American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest hit areas of Katrina’s destruction, supplying hundreds of thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. Artists at Artistlaunch.com are answering the call by making and selling CD:s. 100% of the profits realized from the sale of these CDs will be donated to the Red Cross to aid victims of hurricane Katrina.
