We’ve heard from two more groups who have made it easier for their patrons to give to Haitian relief efforts:

Last weekend, Orchestra London joined a number of other London organizations in the Haitian Relief effort, accepting donations from concert patrons for the Canadian Red Cross, in support of the ongoing efforts to provide emergency relief and long-term recovery for Haitians devastated by last week’s earthquake.  “Since the earthquake we’ve received many calls from our musicians and volunteers, asking what Orchestra London can do to help in the wake of such a horrible disaster,” says Joe Swan, Managing Director for Orchestra London.  “We are counting on our audience to help us provide the Canadian Red Cross with much-needed financial support for the victims the earthquake.”

And last night, January 28, the National Arts Centre hosted a fundraising dinner hosted by the NAC’s chef Michael Blackie and no fewer than 10 colleague chefs from other Ottawa-area fine dining establishments.  Proceeds from the dinner will be donated to CARE Canada’s Haitian earthquake relief effort – and the menu looks extraordinary!
