spreadLOVE: fundraisers for Haiti earthquake relief

I have some pretty amazing friends who are doing what they can to raise funds for relief after the 7.2 Richter earthquake and subsequent 6.0 aftershock that has destroyed the lives and infrastructure of hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children in Haiti. Some of you may have already contributed in your own way, but I thought I'd tip you off to some great food and entertainment with a good cause at heart.

First, there's my friend whose name you wouldn't recognize, but whose cookies you have probably enjoyed at gathering and events hosted by Yours Truly. If you have a birthday party, anniversary, or special event, or want to give something special and edible for Valentine's Day, please consider ordering from Sherry of Sweet Temptations Gourmet Cookies, who is donating 100% of the profits from all orders placed between now and February 13th to Haiti relief. Those of you coming to the Chicks Who Click gathering on February 7th will get to sample some of her delicious and totally addictive treats!

Next we have my beautiful and talented friend Erica Viegas, who we already know donates $1 from each CD she sells (if you haven't bought one, you should...) to a beloved charity One! International. But before officially launching her CD at the release party scheduled at the Blue Chair on March 5th (I'm going - y'all should come, too!) she is performing in support of Haiti earthquake relief at the 109 street Original Joe's at 7pm on January 30th, 2010. You can check out her performance from this morning on CityTV's Breakfast TV. Amazing is an understatement!

Not convinced you can participate in either of these opportunities and feel as though you've got more to give? How about making a cash donation to the Red Cross's Haitian relief effort here or contributing to World Vision here. There is no right or wrong amount to give - just give what you can, even if it's only ten dollars. Not convinced that's a good enough number? Imagine if every one of your friends on Facebook donated only ten dollars and you'll quickly see that no contribution is too small or insignificant.

Beautiful blessings to you all.

muchLOVE,

~H.
