Haiti Donation
Thanks to everyone who came to the January 789 JAM - because of you, we were able to send more than $10K to the Red Cross for the Haiti relief efforts! Here’s the text of the letter that was sent along with the donation checks:
American Red Cross
PO Box 4002018
Des Moines, IA 50340-2018
To whom it may concern,
Enclosed you will find checks totaling $10,018.05, which we are submitting for your Haiti Relief and Development Fund. This money was collected from the students, parents, volunteers and sponsors of 789 JAM at the dance held last Friday night.
This community program, co-sponsored by former Portland Trail Blazer Brian Grant, the City of West Linn Police Dept. and Parks & Rec, and Willamette Christian Church, provides entertainment options for 6th-9th graders in the south Portland metropolitan area.
In response to questions from students about what they could do to help those impacted by the earthquake in Haiti, we announced the donation drive just two days before the dance. Through the generosity of everyone involved, we are please to send this sum with the hope that it can be used to improve the situation for those in Haiti who are suffering so greatly.
Sincerely,
The 789 JAM Sponsors
