Hot Helps Haiti – Party for a Purpose

On Tuesday night at Toad's Place in New Haven Hot 93.7's DJ Buck put on a benefit concert to raise money to send to the Haiti relief. The overwhelming cries for help hit Connecticut just as it did all over all over the world. Luckily a major voice in the state felt the compassion and understood the desire of the masses to want to help out. With all the turmoil going on DJ Buck said, “I knew I had to find a way to get the community involved”. So he initiated a benefit concert in less than 3 days that cost the public only $10 to attend. The roster consisted of a host of Connecticut artists that not only performed for free but paid to attend the event as well as their contribution to the cause.

It was refreshing to see the turnout of the event. DJ Buck reported that we rose over $4500.00 and 100 percent of the proceeds went directly to Haiti relief via The United Way and the Red Cross. The United Way also raised money off of tee-shirt sales that read “Live United”, so it is possible that over $5000.00 was collected. DJ Buck expressed, “It felt good to see so many people come together and how strong the community can be.”
