Rebuild Haiti

Benefit Concert for Haiti Long-Term Rebuilding Efforts Supported by Architecture for Humanity New York New York, NY – In the aftermath of Haiti’s catastrophic earthquake, Architecture for Humanity New York will hold a benefit concert on February 23rd, 2010. All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to our parent organization, Architecture for Humanity, for its long-term re-building efforts in the disaster-stricken region. Cameron Sinclair, Architecture for Humanity Founder, explains, “At the heart of the reconstruction process is to get schools and community centers built, bringing an anchor of normalcy back to the lives affected. We've been fortunate to garner the support of a number of companies and individuals to allow us to build a number of facilities in the coming years.” AFH, Yele Haiti, AIDG in Haiti and other non-profit organizations have raised a phenomenal amount for immediate disaster response. But in order to provide sustainable recovery assistance and construction, Architecture for Humanity New York is asking for your rallying support. Generously hosted by Williamsburg’s bowling-drinking-music venue, Brooklyn Bowl, the benefit concert will feature three local rock bands:  Skidmore Fountain  The Naked Heroes  In Cadeo Suggested donations for tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door. Skidmore Foundation takes the stage at 7:20pm with drink specials running from 6-7pm. Company lane rentals are available for $500/lane from 6-10pm. And individual lane rentals are available for $50/lane. All bowling proceeds during the event will be forwarded to AFH.
