"As recently as thirty years ago, elephants roamed freely over all of Southeast Asia, numbering in the tens of thousands," according to press notes. "Today fewer than 3,000 elephants remain in Thailand. Most are working in the illegal logging trade or tourist parks, or begging on the streets. Many are injured, sick, or underfed and in need of rescue. Artists for Elephants is working to help these elephants and bring them to sanctuaries where they can live in family units, raise healthy babies, and spend the rest of their lives living like elephants free from back-breaking work or performing for tourists."

Tickets are available by visiting joespub.com.

All proceeds for the event go directly to rescuing and providing care for at risk and in-need elephants. Artists for Elephants is a project of Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs (SEE), a registered public charity.
