For the last two months, Project Haiti has asked the entire Bentley community to make a pledge to help the devastated island nation of Haiti. On the night of March 26, all of this effort came to a head when Project Haiti put on A Night for Haiti in the Student Center.
The Project Haiti team is proud to announce that the event was a huge success drawing 763 members of the Bentley community to an event that symbolized our commitment.
This event, along with our other outreach efforts, brings our total funds raised this semester to just under 27,000 dollars at time of print, only 3,000 dollars away from our goal.
The outpour of support from all corners of campus, while not astonishing to us, has humbled those involved and further strengthened our efforts.
Though there have been a number of students behind this project, none of this could have been remotely possible without all of our supporters. It is because of you that we have done so well.
To those of you who attended A Night for Haiti, we thank you. For those of you who bought a Project Haiti package or made a donation to our cause, we thank you. And for those of you who simply thought about Project Haiti, bringing it up in class or in a discussion among friends, we thank you.
Though our success is welcomed, our effort is far from over.
In the coming weeks, we plan to continue our corporate outreach and continue to make inroads around campus. In addition, Spring Day will feature sponsorship by Project Haiti.
What we are asking for is your continued support. Keep telling people about Project Haiti and spreading our cause.
While the cameras have long gone, the Haitians’ needs are still eminent and we hope that Bentley will continue to do what it can to bring shelter to families in need.
Your support is greatly appreciated and something that each of the members of Project Haiti has never taken for granted.
Our goal is in reach, and together there is no doubting that we can certainly surpass it.
