In recognition of his 36th birthday, Steve Aoki has pledged to match up to $36,000 in donations ($1,000 for every year he's been alive) to Music for Relieffor Typhoon Haiyan Relief. That means that with the help of his fans, $72,000 will go to the Philippines to provide urgent medical treatment, medicine, and supplies to the survivors of the typhoon. Whoever donates or raises the most money for Steve Aoki's Birthday for Relief will win a trip to see him perform on New Year's Eve in Cancun, Mexico. Additionally, the promoter for the New Year's Eve show, Carlos Anaya ofAlive Entertainment, has generously committed an additional $10,000 to the cause.
