Our board members have raised a significant amount of money in the past few days and we are hand delivering the funds to Port au Prince now. We have been told supplies are available in Haiti, they are just expensive; the banks are closed, so the hospitals that are still functioning, like the children's hospital we sponsor, St. Damien's -- the only free hospital serving the people of the slums of Port au Prince -- have run out of medicine and fuel for their generators. The emergency cash is a quick fix; we are also partnering with Operation USA and are flying in containers of medicine and supplies within the next few days. Anyone interested in donating can go to our website.APJ is holding a fundraising brunch this Sunday in Santa Monica, with a minimum donation of 5,000 a head. Amy Pascal, Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, Jason Weinberg and other great friends are co-hosting; Moby and friends are playing. Anyone interested in attending can call my office, 310-319-1394.
