Amazing.  This event was put together in two days, and as you can see from the image above, It was well worth it to the people that will benefit from it, and how little effort it took to put together.  Words can’t describe the gratitude we felt towards our friends at Five Star whom let us host it, our friends(Christopher Charles, Darany Sarah Designs, SPCLGST) that help put it together, and the people that came and gave donations without thinking twice.  It truly is testimate that everyone can do just a little to help and make a world of difference.  When we dropped the check off at Red Cross,  we met this man, Alex Alexis, who is a registered nurse but also a native of Haiti.  He is soon to be deployed to the USS Comfort which is currently positioned near Haiti to provide relief.  He will be working as a French and Creole translator for at least the next month.  We wish him luck with his travels, keep an eye out on the news, and you will sure be hearing his name again. :) Thank You Raleigh for being AMAZING. Head over to the Jukebox Heroes to check all the pictures from the event!

Nobody can predict things like this happening like the earthquake in Haiti.  This is something we CAN do.  Please check out this event!  A word from DJ Forge:

“By now I’m sure you’ve heard, seen, and read about the destruction that Haiti has seen this week due to a 7.0 magnitude earthquake.  It’s easy to feel like it’s hard to help people that are so far away, but you can make a difference because every small amount helps.

This Friday, DJ SPCLGST and I will be throwing a benefit party for Haiti Relief at Five Star in Raleigh.  Everything we make from the door will be donated to the red cross relief effort.  The minimum donation for entry is $5 but that isn’t the maximum, please contribute as much as you’d like.

This is your chance to enjoy yourself while still contributing to the cause.  We hope Raleigh (and the triangle) will turn out for Haiti.

If you can’t make it, please find a way to donate supplies or money to an organization. The people of Haiti need all they help they can get right now.”
