As you all know, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti last week, leaving the country in great turmoil and in desperate need of aid. Calgarians are rallying around the cause by donating and  organizing fundraisers like the YYC4Haiti team.  Formed by Camilla Di Giuseppe of CTV Calgary, Alex Ruiz of Calix Media and the Calgary Flames and former Calgary sports writer Angela MacIsaac, YYC4Haiti will be hosting a fundraiser at Flames Central on Thursday, January 28, starting at 5:30 p.m.

Door prizes and a silent auction will be held to raise funds for Haiti relief. All proceeds for the event will be forwarded to the Canadian Red Cross, which is leading Canadian efforts to provide urgently needed support to survivors in Haiti and to address the longer-term needs of affected communities.
