We've already listed a few ways that you can help Haiti. Aside from online donations, which are much needed, there are also a number of local fundraisers in the works. Skippy from the Bell House in Brooklyn tells us he's organizing a big one, set for January 27th. There will be bands, comedians, a raffle, and lots of extras — with 100% of the box office and raffle proceeds going to the people of Haiti. If you can donate something towards the raffle, or can help in another way, please email him at: parksloper (at) gmail (dot) com.
Meanwhile, we just got word of a small benefit tonight at Lolita bar (266 Broome St). The Haitian Earthquake Benefit will run from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m., costs $5, and will include $3 drafts and $5 margaritas. The entry fee, and $1 from each drink (until 8 p.m.) will be split between Doctor's Without Borders (for immediate aid) and Konbit Pou Ayiti (a Haiti based non-profit focused on longer term solutions).
