Young professionals organize event for Haiti victims

Stamford (CT)Will Gregory, in association with AmeriCares and Hip Hop Republicans, has launched a disaster relief initiative, CT4Haiti, which will raise funds and awareness in Connecticut to aid the earthquake-ravaged nation.

Mr. Gregory, who spent time as a high school student in Haiti, said of the situation; “The degree of devastation is nothing short of horrific.  Tens of thousands have been killed, hundreds of thousands displaced, and millions more impacted.”

He continued, “The people of Haiti are suffering in a way that is difficult to comprehend.  As caring and compassionate people, we Americans have a duty to lend our support.”

“I am proud to be working with a relief organization like AmeriCares to help provide aid and assistance on the ground.  Their reputation for effectiveness and speed of response in situations like this across the globe is fantastic.”

CT4Haiti will be hosting its first fundraising event on Saturday, January 16th from 7-10 pm at Tiernan’s in Stamford, CT.

AmeriCares is a nonprofit relief organization founded and headquartered in Stamford, CT.  Hip Hop Republicans is nationally recognized urban-conservative blog headquartered in New York City.
