By becoming a fan of the Lilith Facebook page, users can participate in Choose Your Charity campaign, where they can vote on the pre-selected local women’s charities in their cities.
The first round of voting just began and runs until 11:59 PM PST on May 3. At that time, the top five charities from each city will move on to a second round of voting beginning at 10:00 AM PST on May 4 and ending at 11:59 PM PST on May 31.
The Lilith founders—McLachlan, Terry McBride, Dan Fraser and Marty Diamond—will hand pick the local charity winners from the top three charities with the most votes in each city. The 2010 Lilith Tour promises to donate $1 from every ticket sold in a particular city to its chosen local charity, and McLachlan will personally present a check for the amount raised to charity representatives in each city.
The original Lilith Fair raised over $10 million dollars for various women’s charities over its three year run, according to the press release issued by Network Music Group.
