Hon. Lianne Dalziel Mayor of Christchurch says: "This is another example of how people all over have come together in order to show solidarity with our Muslim community and with our city. This will go a long way to meeting some of the long-term needs of the community."

You Are Us/Aroha Nui organisers Brent Eccles (Eccles Entertainment) and Mark Kneebone (Live Nation) also wished to express that they would love to see the proceeds from both concerts used to support the future of the families of the victims and their children's education.

This donation was raised via net proceeds from ticket sales of the two concerts and contributions from various members of the New Zealand music community.
