Triangle TRACKS and 14 Local Businesses Sponsor Fundraiser for Haitian Orphanage

Triangle TRACKS, a social network for Triangle parents, is sponsoring a fundraiser for God's Littlest Angels (GLA) orphanage southeast of Port Au Prince, Haiti. This orphanage is located southeast of Port Au Prince in the mountains above Pétion-Vill near the village of Fermath, and serves children as young as newborns up to around 7 years of age. Since the orphanage is not located directly at the earthquake’s epicenter, its primary damages were financial, because it has stretched its resources thin to care for its orphans on a day-to-day basis, and to assist the surrounding community with clothing, medical needs, toiletries and other necessities incurred as a result of the earthquake’s damage. There are even more orphans now, as a result of the earthquake, and many of the staff members also need help paying for home repairs and funeral expenses.

Triangle TRACKS created the HALOs for Haiti's Littlest Angels project to "Help Accommodate and Love an Orphan." Fourteen local businesses have agreed to help raise funds for GLA by kindly donating services and/or fun stuff for kids to do that we have divided into 25 HALO Passes. These passes are categorized into four levels and price ranges: Platinum ($150), Gold ($115), Silver ($75) and Bronze ($27). Each pass is priced at 50 percent of its total value and 100 percent of the proceeds will go to GLA. Click on the links below to see a description of each pass.

Here's how it will work. Beginning March 1, Triangle TRACKS will offer its members first rights to purchase the passes. Any remaining passes will be offered for sale to the general public March 8. Due to the low prices and number of items on each pass, we anticipate they will sell quickly. Stay tuned for more details later this week!

Triangle TRACKS would like to thank Social Butterflies for assisting in the promotion of this fundraiser. Subscribe to Social Butterflies’ monthly e-newsletter at www.socialbutterfliesnc.com for information on upcoming children's activities and family events.
