On Sunday October 19th, Forbes’ Under 30 Music Fest — featuring Wiz Khalifa, indie rocker LP and Philly’s own much-buzzed about hip-hop duo OCD: Moosh and Twist, and DJ Afrojack — will throw down at the Piazza at Schmidts. The Forbes Under 30 Music Festival will kick off the first-ever Forbes Under 30 Summit, a gathering in Philadelphia, Oct 20-22, of 1,000 of America’s most outstanding young entrepreneurs and leaders. To win tickets all you have to do is take two minutes to help end extreme poverty. There are four ways to do this, pick one:
1. Tweet at Senator Patrick Leahy, Senator Lindsey Graham, Congresswoman Kay Granger and Congresswoman Nita Lowey and thank them for working to ensure every child across the world has access to protection from diseases.
OR
2. Sign the petition to support the Water for the World Act — legislation that refines and improves the current Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act that makes safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene a U.S. foreign policy priority. The Water for the World Act would better utilize the existing funds and strengthen accountability for existing programs.
OR
3. Sign the petition encouraging world leaders to help end the Ebola epidemic.
OR
4. Tweet a selfie with the hashtag #showyourself, joining the petition that shows world leaders that the rights and needs of the 1.8 billion young people across the globe must be a priority.
After one of those tasks is complete, participants earn four points on the Global Citizen web site and can enter the lottery for tickets. Winners will be chosen at random and notified via email. More than 2,500 pairs of free tickets will be distributed to the public leading up to the festival, which is presented by Global Citizen Nights. Tickets will be made available through midnight EST on Thursday, October 16. Doors will open at 3:30 pm Sunday for the music festival. The concert is expected to run from approximately 5pm-9pm. Please note this event is rain or shine. Attendees must be 21 and over (valid photo ID required for entry). For more details on Forbes’ Under 30 Summit, please visit www.forbesunder30.com.
