Harvard Student Concert to Aid Haiti Broadcast Online

Shortly after the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti, a group of Harvard students asked the administration to help plan a fundraising event. Working with the Office for the Arts at Harvard, students have arranged a beautiful program that will feature a variety of Harvard dance troupes, choruses, spoken-word presentations, and solo performances. The special event will take place this Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 8 a.m. (HK time)/Friday, February 12, 2010, at 7 p.m. EST in Cambridge. The concert will be held in Sanders Theatre but simulcast on the web to enable all interested members of the Harvard community -- both on campus and throughout the world -- to participate and to contribute.

Proceeds from the event will be directed to Partners in Health (PIH), a Harvard-affiliated organization that is providing critical help to earthquake survivors in Haiti. The University is covering all costs of this concert production so that every dollar raised will go directly to PIH. In order to share their efforts with the broader Harvard community and to maximize the opportunity for raising funds, the University has agreed to webcast the concert to alumni around the globe. You can donate and watch the concert at http://www.harvard.edu/harvardforhaiti. The site will be open to donations before, during, and after the concert.
