Haiti Relief

Barracuda, 611 E 7th St, Austin

1.4 Million Haitians need urgent care! They are without homes, clean water, or much needed medical care. There is a cholera outbreak, and dozens of treatment centers were destroyed by the hurricane.

Let's raise some money for them and jam out to some incredible bands. Money Chicha, El Tule, Kalu and The Electric Joint and Continental Drift will be performing full sets, and Qi Dada Ras (from RIDERS AGAINST the STORM (RAS)) will be leading a Haitian folk dance troupe and giving a short talk on the beautiful people of Haiti.

This will be the first event in Continental Drift's "Pangaea Benefit Series," which will work with a different charitable organization for each event in an effort to spotlight a variety of non-profit organizations that are bringing focused, positive change to our planet.

There will also be Thai food served by Thai Fresh, local kombucha from Wunder-Pilz Kombucha, a silent auction, and a raffle. More details coming soon!

Admission: $10 | Admission + Thai Food + Raffle ticket: $25 Raffle Ticket: 1 for $5 | 3 for $10 For Tickets, go here, and scroll to "donation levels" : https://www.generosity.com/emergencies-fundraising/haiti-hurricane-relief-concert/x/10811465 You will also find a lot more information there ^

Proceeds will go to Intervol, a charitable organization that brings surplus medical supplies and equipment to underserviced areas. In addition to supplies, Intervol organizes Volunteer Medical Professionals; doctors, nurses and allied medical personnel to organize care and services in areas affected by natural disasters, droughts, famines, etc. Residents of Leogane will also receive clothing, personal care items, clean water and building materials.
