On February 17th, YP4C, The JI Group, Living Measure and Triumph will be collaborating on a special fundraiser in support of Haitian relief and recovery called "United for Haiti" from 5:30 to 9 pm at Nikki Beach in New York City (http://www.nikkibeach.com/newyork/). Proceeds from the fundraiser will be directed to one of the following two entities:
1) President Obama's Clinton Bush Haiti Fund (http://clintonbushhaitifund.org/). Email confirmation printout receipts dated after January with personal ID must be brought to the event for admission.
2) The Haitian American Alliance of New York. All payments through our dedicated eventbrite link will go directly to HAA (http://unitedforhaiti.eventbrite.com/). Email receipts for tax purposes will be sent by HAA to donors and will not need to be brought for event admission.
Our keynote speaker for the fundraiser will be the Reverend Al Sharpton. Other special guest speakers include Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer, Deputy Borough President Rose Pierre-Louis and HAA Founder Dr. Jean Claude Compas. We will also have a musical selection performed by American Idol contestant Joanne Borgella, who is of Haitian descent.
VIP tickets will be sold for $100 and general ticket prices are $25 in advance ($125 and $35 respectively at the door). We will be offering expedited venue entry, a private section with access to special guests, complimentary appetizers, and a champagne toast for VIP ticket holders. We also will be auctioning off a few very special items to event guests.
