Glas Huis

The Glas Huis (glass house) is a event created a couple years a go by a dutch radio station to raise money for a charity. There are 3 djs locked in the house for a week. This year they were locked in by the dutch princess. During the week lots of singers and bands stop by to encourage the public to donate money. The DJs were let out on christmas eve after a big concert in downtown Groningen. They were able to raise over 7 Million Euros for the treatment of malaria.

Note:
-The DJ's can't eat for 6 days!
-Kids, adults, mentally disabled,... a lot of people or groups starting fundraisers all over the place and collect small to huge amounts of money.
-You can also by all kind of things in a on-line auction, request a song to be played by making a small or huge donation
- The concept is no also reached some other countries(Belgian, Switzerland, Sweden?, ...).
It's an amazing event :-)
