Idina has donated 2 tickets and a meet & greet to The Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ on March 21, 2009! They are currently running an auction for the tickets with all of the proceeds going to benefit LIFEbeat, an organization that works with the music industry to raise money for AIDS research.

According to Syracuse University’s events website, Pulse, Idina will be making a guest appearance at their 2009 “Women of Distinction” awards ceremony on March 20 at 3:00 pm in Goldstein Auditorium – the same venue she is performing at on March 19! Idina’s concert at SU is a part of their Women’s History Month event schedule, so it’s pretty cool they also asked her to stay and speak at their awards ceremony.

Tickets are still available for the March 19 concert by calling the box office at (315) 443-4517. $20 per person ($5 for SU students), and it is General Admission.

And on a related note, the meet & greet contest for Idina’s spring tour is now open! Just head over to Idina’s Official Fan Club to enter! Remember, only members of Idina’s Official Fan Club are eligible to attend the meet & greet, so join up if you want your chance to meet Idina!
