Update from the Hoos 4 Haiti Campaign
Hoos 4 Haiti @ U.Va.
Dear all,
A quick update from the Hoos for Haiti campaign:
In the 10 days since we set a goal of $100,000 by February 14, the University community has raised over $50,000 dollars. Major donations have come from the Darden and McIntire School of Commerce campaigns, the Love 4 Haiti and C'Villian Relief benefit concerts of last weekend, and CIOs like the University Democrats, Virginia Anthropological Society, and the Language Houses. Individuals have also donated thousands via www.hoosonline.virginia.edu/supporthoos4haiti. Money has been disbursed to Partners in Health, GHESKIO, the International Rescue Committee, the American Red Cross, and to a memorial fund for the family of our friend Stephanie Jean-Charles.
We've also ordered Hoos for Haiti t-shirts, which are available in the U.Va. bookstore for $15. To place an order for t-shirts to sell with your event email fb9u@virginia.edu.
