Haiti Earthquake | HOPE FOR HAITI Telethon Total

"Hope For Haiti Now" telethon totals. The Earthquake in Haiti, read my full post about it here, has made many Americans come together and give to the all star hosted, "HOPE FOR HAITI NOW" relief fund. It was a two hour telethon that aired Friday, January 22, 2010 on major networks and dozens of other channels such as MTV, Bravo and PBS.

Lisa Paulsen, president and CEO of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, stated, "the public has set a new standard of giving for a relief telethon with 'Hope for Haiti Now,' and the donations continue to come in."

As of today, January 23, the total donated (so far) is a remarkable $57 million. Keep in mind that this total only included money raised by phone, text and web. It has not yet tallied up donations made by corporations or iTunes, in which people could buy performances and 99 cents was then donated.

If you would like to donate 99 cents using the iTunes app, simply download the "Hope for Haiti Now" CD song, Stranded" (Haiti Mon Amour). It is the no.1 single on iTunes right now. Let's help keep it there, cause remember, all the money goes to help those who need it in Haiti.
