The
Help Haiti concert was originated by two local musicians, Phil Morrison
and Michael Hulett. Being sensitive to those who experience suffering
anywhere in the world, they were
deeply touched by the earthquake disaster there and decided to
encourage
Golden Isles area musicians to produce a musical fundraiser to aid the
victims in Haiti.
In the spirit of cooperation, the City of Brunswick is donating the use of the historic Ritz Theatre in downtown Brunswick, GA. as the site for the concert, and several area businesses, churches and charitable organizations are donating time, materials and most of all, support for this worthwhile endeavor.
Proceeds from the fundraiser concert will assist MAP
International,
which provides medication and disaster relief to
underprivileged
countries.
