Since Tuesday, January 12th, the world has watched as the people of Haiti struggled in the aftermath of a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake. It didn’t take long for governments and organizations started to rally to their aid, but more help is still needed. It is for this reason that Hawaii Chef, Roy Yamaguchi has partnered with the Hawaii Farm Bureau and the American Red Cross to host a benefit for Haiti at Roy’s in Hawaii Kai on Friday, January 22nd and Sunday the 24th.
Seating for these private events will be first come first serve. If you wish to attend, you can call (808) 396-7697 for reservations.
Everyone is feeling it in this tough economy which is why there is no fee to attend this event. Instead, Roy asks that you bring your checkbook. Make out a check to the American Red Cross with a notation of Haiti Relief for what ever amount that you can afford.
I hope to see you there.
If you can’t make it to Roy’s for this event, but you still want to help out in someway, here is a list of charities that will gladly accept your donation to help Haiti. You can also send a donation to Architecture For Humanity via the secure widget below set up by WhatGives? and Paypal.
