Haiti Relief

In the wake of the recent Haiti earthquate and the proximity to LeiOut, would it be possible to fundraise for Haiti emergency relief?

Possible fundraising options

1.) a portion of the leiout gear over the weekend will benefit Haiti;

2.) agreement with the bar at the party to give proceeds of tips or a portion of drink sales to Haiti relief

3.) if free drinks are offered, to those who give $10 by texting Haiti to 90999. This amount is charged to your phone bill and 100% of the proceeds go to the redcross.org. The confirmation text message can be proof of the charge. Over $3 million dollars have been raised as of 9am today, EST and there is a cool clickable map of the US and a state by state breakdown of donations:

The timing is key to mobilizing donations and reaching out to the countless victims of this devastating earthquake. Estimates are still not clear of the casualties and treating the survivors is now key to rebuilding Haiti.

I will be playing in the tournament over the weekend for Angela Lansbury's Famous Hot Tacos. I myself have given by texting Haiti and I am merely a concerned US citizen about the world at large.

I decided to post here to communicate with the organizers, since I was unable to find a contact email on the site. If you would like to discuss other fundraising options, please feel free to call me at 310-729-4333.

See you Saturday,
