Singer Celine Dion joins the roster of celebrities donating money to tsunami relief. The performer announced January 12 that she will dedicate a special Mother’s Day performance of her Las Vegas show A New Day... and donate all of the proceeds to support the victims of the tsunami in Asia.

The show will take place on Sunday, May 8, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Celine expects to raise a minimum of one million dollars to donate to UNICEF to help the families who have suffered as a result of the tragedy.

“Like everyone else in the world, I’ve been devastated by the loss and suffering of so many in South Asia, ” said Celine. “As a mother, I cannot imagine the pain that they are experiencing. We can all see that it’s going to take a long time for those people to rebuild their lives, and they will need our help for years to come.

“I chose Mother’s Day for this event because of the special meaning it has for families, but also because it will help maintain the awareness of everyone’s needs in South Asia over the coming months.”

Meanwhile, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and his wife Heather have donated one million pounds to the tsunami disaster relief effort. An independent British charity the International Rescue Committee UK said it was “overwhelmed by this generous gesture.”
