"We all can't give a lot, but all of us can give a little..."-vKa$h

It doesn't take much to make a difference and when 100 Beds for Haiti decided to partner with Soul Clap to raise money during YoYoYo 90s Jam: Heal the World edition, we set out to accomplish two things: raise money and spread awareness. Like many places that have suffered enormous and crippling natural disasters, it is our collective response as individuals, citizens and communities to rebuild Haiti and make it a stronger and healthier Haiti. Thanks again to everyone who came out to support the campaign on March 23 at the Middlesex Lounge in Boston. If you missed this event, don't worry, we have more coming down the pipeline! Watch the video below to get a glimpse of who are supporters and we can't wait to see you at the next event!

Fundraiser Update From Last Night!


Thanks to everyone who came out on a rainy Tuesday night in Boston to the YOYOYO 90's JAM: Heal The World Edition! We raised $437 as a result of your generosity! A big shout out to Shane Flanagan, Cassidy's brother for all his work with our site and helping with donations at the door @Middlesexlounge, Misch from Misch Mash and Colleen for their support (they just got back from HSC in Haiti!), Chris, who went to high school in Haiti if I remember correctly, and is returning back to help his father and his people in May or April; also to Chris's friend Jack Alexandre (pictured w/ me) who runs the 1804 Foundation out of Boston (he was blown away that we were doing this as he had just been to the hospital as well); Eli and Charlie of Soul Clap for their big hearts and partnering with us on short notice - and once again proving they are the most consistently entertaining djs in Boston; and big ups to VJs Evan Lukash (v.Ka$h) and Catherine Sauer for the mind-blowing 90's throwback visuals, including a classic clip of Full House's Jodie Sweetin doing the running man; and to Nolan of Middlesex lounge for letting us film; my friends Aaron Stackhouse and Dinna Yap who are busy raising money for their own great cause this Thursday, 6:30-8:30pm at Boston Bowl in Dorchester. And a big thank you to DJ • Producer • Designer Randy Deshaies for donating his time and ink for some 100 beds posters.. Ok enough patting on the back... there is still so much work to do! And from what Jack Alexandre showed me on a facebook post, we as concerned world citizens only know 1/10th of the damage and devastation.. I will follow up with him shortly.. ALSO, look for a video from the fundraiser last night and nicer pics of the party courtesy of really cool boston event photographer Steve Osemwenkae, so check back soon!
