All funds raised will be donated to Zanmi Lasante/Partners in Health. Being the largest NGO in Haiti to provide comprehensive primary health care regardless of ability to pay, the right of free access to health care for the poor majority in Haiti has been a cornerstone of their operation since their inception in 1985. ZL/PiH uses a community based model, training and hiring Haitians to deliver preferential health care to the poor, meaning the money donated from this fundraiser will stay in Haiti.
Donations to Partners In Health will be collected throughout the event and charitable tax receipts will be issued for donations over $10.
