30 for 30: Strength Through Unity

An organization has formed on JMU's campus with a big goal to raise money for Haiti called "30 for 30: Strength through Unity"

30 for 30 is trying to raise $30k in the next 30 days (Ending February 24th). They have an array of events across campus to help raise money and raise awareness about the disaster in Haiti. They believe that if only 20% of JMU's campus donates at least $5 we can make this goal a reality. They are donating to 3 different organizations with this money:

Partners in Health (doing excellent health-related work around Haiti) http://www.pih.org/

International Partnership of La Gonave (an organization JMU is already deeply involved with through the work of Tacy and O'Connor. Is organized to help with food and provisions) http://www.cisat.jmu.edu/international/haiti/

Fonkoze (an alternative bank that serves the needs of the poor. This sort of institution is critical for Haitians to rebuild their country) http://www.fonkoze.org/
