Hope For Haiti Now: $61 Million

I think it's fair to say that the United States of America still has some climbing to do before we can say the recession/slump/great depression part deux/insert sugarcoated euphemism is behind us. Even at this time when households are doing whatever necessary to cutback, we still join together and raise over $61 million for the people of Haiti. It's not just helping Haiti, it's helping PEOPLE.

Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris are topping the charts with their rendition of Leonard Cohen's (that's right folks, not Jeff Buckley) "Hallelujah." The entire Hope For Haiti Now CD is topping the charts as well, where 100% of the proceeds are added to the Haitian Relief Fund. Way to go George Clooney and way to go US!

Here at Alltech, we have started the Alltech/Haiti Relief aimed at rebuilding one of the many schools that was destroyed or badly damaged during the earthquakes. We intend to set the rebuilt school up with school supplies, teaching aids, and hope to fund a teacher's yearly salary. All money raised by 2,300 Alltech employees worldwide will be matched by Alltech and be used to help reestablish Haiti's education system.
