Many talented people are pitching in to help with raising funds for relief efforts in Haiti. In case you haven’t checked the TV schedule, tonight (Friday, January 22) is a very big event: Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief.
If you were watching the Golden Globes Sunday, you may have noticed George Clooney looked a bit distracted. That’s because his mind was elsewhere: helping to organize this huge global fund-raising event.
Hope for Haiti Now will air tonight at 8 pm ET on all the major networks. It’s going to be hard to miss!
Why should you watch?
First of all, it’s commercial free with hosts George Clooney, Wyclef Jean and Anderson Cooper. And there’s going to be some wonderful entertainment, including U2’s Bono and The Edge, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, Shakira, Alicia Keys and Christina Aguilera.
However, you don’t have to wait for the telethon to donate. To donate, call 1-877-99-HAITI or visit HopeforHaitiNow.org. The funds raised will go to several organizations working in Haiti, including American Red Cross, Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, unicef and more.
If you like what you hear during the telethon with 18 expected songs, purchase them on iTunes after the event to help out even more. Starting today, iTunes visitors can pre-order the full “Hope for Haiti Now” album for $7.99. The full two-hour video telecast will be available for $1.99. Pre-orders will be delivered a few days after the telethon, and individual songs will also be available for download for .99 cents. Visit MTV for more details on the Hope for Haiti music for purchase.
