Changing the World is Cheap

I harp on the power of the internet as a tool for philanthropy a lot. It’s hard not too. The increases in communication and financial payment platforms on the web have crushed the barriers that used to block access to third world countries. Now, anyone can set up an online fundraiser to support one of thousands of different charities in less than 30 mins for $0.

Here is an easy opportunity to lend your monetary support for relief efforts in Haiti, and have a blast doing it. Instead of spending that $30 at the bar on Friday night . . . well, still spend it at the bar. Just be sure to do it at the Hope 4 Haiti Happy Hour tomorrow.

If you DO NOT live in Chicago, or can’t make it tomorrow, please visit our Hope 4 Haiti Happy Hour page and make a small donation. All funds raised will go directly to relief efforts on the ground through the organization Save the Children

All donations up to $600 will be matched by our anonymous donors! So please give, even if you can’t make it to Chicago tomorrow!

If you DO live in Chicago, please join us this Friday evening at 8pm for our bar special at High Tops bar in Lincoln Park. $30 gets you in with a wristband and drink specials all night. %100 of proceeds go to Save the Children! Details below.
