Tonight’s Haiti Telethons… don’t just watch, donate.

Posted on 22 January 2010

Tonight two seperate telethons in suport of the Haiti rebuilding efforts are happening – one at 7pm in Canada (on CTV, Global, and CBC) while another will start just after that at 8pm on virtually every network in North America.  There are going to be many great acts and it is going to be a really entertaining telethon.  But lets be honest, it really isn’t for the entertainment.

What I am urging people is that if you are going to stay in tonight and watch these telethons make sure you actually make a donation.  If you’re like me you may not have a lot of cash right now, but think of it this way – whatever money you may have spent going out tonight (paying for entertainment, drinks, etc.) donate to the Haiti recovery.  It doesn’t have to be much, but make sure you do it.  Spend the money you would have otherwise spent going out tonight and put it towards this great cause… think of it as a small charge for a great night of entertainment which in turn can help so many people.
