Listen. Haiti REALLY needs our help. Really. The poverty there is unthinkable–people eating dirt cakes to get nutrition out of them–people working in the sugar cane fields but not being paid enough to get enough food to survive. Plus living in a warzone and getting hit with a hurricane. Can you imagine? This year we were pretty close to the Haitian crisis when we were robbed in the dominican republic.
says James Stache:
My friend Colin and his girlfriend Dina are hosting an event this Saturday to benefit hurricane disaster relief efforts in Haiti. Come get loaded, blow all of your Friday pay and feel good about it. I am djing the afterparty alongside DJ K-tel (Hangar 18, official TuntableLab clothing model, Brooklyn/IN) & DJ Curly (Workshop Sounds Ent., Philly). NOTHING beats a loft party with good djs. Of course, I’m bringing the lights and air horn.
In addition to Haitian-themed cocktails to drink and baked goods to eat, there will be a raffle for prizes and gift certificates from Outlier Performance Clothing, Affinity Cycles, Urban Rustic, M Shanghai Bistro, Mishka, King Kog, Laek House, Continuum Cycles, Trackstar, Supermighty, Cyclehawk, Freight Baggage, Wheelove, & Snap Delivery.
ALL proceeds will be sent to Partners In Health (http://pih.org/home.html) to support their Hurricane Ike and Gustav relief efforts, as well their programs that ensure access to quality healthcare.
The whole event takes place after a bike race - but you are more than welcome to join us just for the party.
