Help Haiti concert raises $121,000 for earthquake victims

Help Haiti: a perfect example of what a community can achieve for others in times of need.

Were you at the Help Haiti concert this week? 

If not, you missed an amazing evening of soca, calypso, salsa, rock, pop, roots music, choral singing and more.  365antigua.com was there and captured a moment not soon forgotten.  It was inspiring to witness the community get together and support such a worthwhile cause.  Put together in a few short weeks, the organisers of the event announced that they raised over $121,000 for the Red Cross' Haiti relief effort in ONE DAY. 

For those of you who say 'my one dollar won't make a difference', Antigua has proven that it can.

Cheers for all the fine people who imagined, who managed, and who made that difference in many people's lives.

(look right to see 365TV capturing Itchyfeet at the concert, and check back soon for a photo gallery on the night).
