Tonight at Cuatro in Chicago, IL, Derrick Carter, Glenn Underground, and other DJ's will perform as part of the House for Haiti benefit event for the Haitian earthquake victims.
All proceeds from the $20 cover charge will go directly to Missions to North America Disaster Relief which in turn goes to help our Haitian brothers & sisters who are desperately in need. If you feel compelled to donate more, you are more than welcome to! However, we realize that we are still in a recession and wanted to therefore make this special evening as accessible as possible for everyone.
Funds that are channeled directly to ESMI (El Shaddai Ministries is the Haitian Ministry arm of the MNA) or through Disaster Response of the MNA (Missions to North America) are guaranteed to have 100% of every $1 spent go towards Haitian disaster relief. There are no fees and no charges for overhead within the organizations. Typically high overhead fees in the range of 17%-20% combined with slow moving supply distribution chains can often times make relief difficult. With ESMI and MNA, you are dealing with an indiginous organization who can assure that the funds go to the neediest people the quickest.
