Campaign for Haiti A Success

 

A big THANK YOU goes out to all of those who came out on January 21, 2010 to support Campaign For Haiti.

With your help Trustee Rob Davis and Deb Lewis were able to raise over $2,200.00 for the Red Cross Disaster Relief for Haiti fund. This amount will be matched by the Canadian Federal Government, bringing the total raised to $4, 400.00.

A special thanks to all the candidates who joined us to make this night possible: George Smitherman, Sarah Thomson, Rocco Rossi, Rocco Achampong, Joseph Pampena, Mark State and Giorgio Mammolit, among others. Also thanks to City Councillor Adam Giambrone.

UPDATE

Campaign for Haiti, which started out with the support of one councillor candidate Rob Davis, has grown exponentially in the past week. Mayoral candidates George Smitherman, Sarah Thomson, Rocco Rossi, Rocco Ashampong, Mark State and Giorgio Mammolit, along with Councillor John Parker have all pledged to put their personal campaigns on hold to instead campaign for the people of Haiti.

This is an opportunity for all candidates and supporters to get together in a common cause to raise money for the Red Cross Relief for Haiti Fund. It has been just over a week since the devastating quake struck Haiti, with the latest estimate offered by the European Union citing 200,000 people dead and 1.5 million people rendered homeless. Many earthquake victims are still dying due to the lack of medical attention, food and basic sanitary conditions. The Canadian Federal Government has pledged $50 Million to match all funds raised by the public, meaning every dollar Campaign for Haiti raises will be doubled. Leverage your political capital and raise real capital to provide relief for the people of Haiti…There will be no speeches, no stumping, just compassion.
