ANSWERING THE CALL

A Fundraising Initiative Benefiting Earthquake Victims in Haiti. Here is a message from the Harvard Black Alumni Society:

Dear All,

In the wake of Haiti's devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010, citizens and nations from across the globe have united to support those affected on the ground in Haiti and abroad. Today, weeks after this natural disaster, the lives and realities of Haiti’s people remain profoundly changed with so many finding themselves homeless, without food, physically injured, without work and coping with the loss of loved ones. The effects of this tragedy are far from over and as such, it is important for people across the world to realize that the need of those in Haiti and our human obligation to help them is also far from over.

Tomorrow, the Harvard Black Alumni Society of New York will join The Global Syndicate and other organizations and individuals to deliver an event that seeks to remember and to support those affected by Haiti’s earthquake. Please join us for ANSWERING THE CALL: A Fundraising Initiative Benefiting Earthquake Victims in Haiti” on Thursday, January 28 at M2 Ultralounge (530 West 28th Street, NY, NY). From 6:00-7:00PM we will be offering an open bar and from 7:00-10:00PM, the event’s program will take place featuring special guests including: Matt Dillon, Gloria Reuben (ER Star), Gossip Girls Star, Randal Pinkett (Apprentice Winner), Sen. Jose Peralta, Assemblyman Karim Camara, Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, Comptroller John Liu, Assemblyman Farrell, Assemblyman Karim Camera, Assemblyman Adriano Espaillat, Assemblyman Darryl Towns, Assemblyman Hakeem Jefferies, Senator Eric Schneiderman and more.

100% of proceeds will go to benefit earthquake victims through: The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, Project Medishare, Haiti Support Project and Yele Haiti. General Admission pricing ranges from $25 to $100 and VIP pricing (including an open bar all night) ranges from $250 to $500. Purchase tickets HERE.
