Business Plan Form:
On January 21st, over 500 Northeastern University students united to support the Rock Out for Haiti Benefit Concert in afterHOURS. Students and faculty at the Social Enterprise Institute, among other Northeastern organizations, put together the concert in efforts to raise awareness and money for the current crisis in Haiti. The venue was packed with people eager to help fundraise and listen to local bands Baylock and Mission Hill.
While the bands played, pictures of Haiti were displayed on screens behind the musicians to remind the audience what they were supporting. The Massachusetts Consulate of Haiti, Gladys D. Joseph, also attended the concert and offered words of inspiration and hope regarding the current tragedy in Haiti.
In addition to the optional attendance fee of around $5, the event hosted a raffle of items ranging from a bonsai, donated from Fern, to a pair of Celtics tickets donated by ACE Ticket. Other local businesses such as Wine Bottega, Espresso Royale Café, Boloco and many others also donated to the raffle.
The fundraising goal of the benefit concert was to raise $1,500, but a wave of support for Haiti moved the attendees to donate over $3,600 that went directly to Partners in Health, a non-profit organization that has been ‘standing with Haiti’ for over 20 years and is dedicated to ‘providing a preferential option for the poor in health care.’
