WHERE: Alice Cambpell Alumni Center, 601 S. Lincoln, Urbana, IL

WHEN: Thursday, February 11th, 7:00-9:00 PM (6:30 PM doors)

WHO: UIUC Students, faculty, and community members

Before this Valentine’s Day weekend, C-U Haiti Relief will present an informational forum, performance, and fundraiser for earthquake relief efforts in Haiti. Speakers with intimate knowledge of the country will share their experiences and perspectives on current events. Students will be given information on ways to participate in relief efforts. The evening will close with a musical performance by a to-be-determined ensemble. Specific speaker and musician lineup is forthcoming.

The event is free and open to the public. There will be a $5 suggested donation for attendants (all proceeds will go directly to Haitian disaster recovery). A donation is by no means required for attendance. Non-monetary donations (e.g., clothing, medical supplies) are also accepted. C-U Haiti Relief is a consortium of students, faculty, and Champaign-Urbana community members working for disaster recovery in Haiti. C-U Haiti Relief is an initiative of Planners Network. This forum is to be the first of the group’s initiatives. To receive updates on this event, and for other information, we encourage you to follow us on Facebook:
