Charity

For 2010 Shimmer & Bliss will donate to Artists for Peace and Justice for Project Haiti.

On Tuesday January 12th, 2010 a devastating earthquake struck Haiti. Buildings, government establishments, homes and hospitals collapsed and destroyed Port-au-Prince and it's surrounding areas. Hundreds of thousands of people died. Many Haitians, including homeless children, are still severely injured and continue to die. Haiti is in dire need of help. There is so much left to be done.

Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ), established in early 2009, is a fundraising effort founded by Paul Haggis and friends that encourages peace and social justice and addresses issues of poverty and enfranchisement in communities around the world. Over the past year, APJ has directed its efforts to raising enough funds to fully sponsor three schools in Haiti in support of the initiatives of Father Rick Frechette and his team. These schools aren’t just a place to learn but provide for a hot meal, clean water and a chance at the future to children who desperately need it. Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, APJ has focused its efforts on raising much needed dollars for emergency aid in the ravaged country that is only a few hours from our shores.

100% of all donations to Artists for Peace and Justice goes directly to Haiti.
