Survivors of the earthquake speak -- Town Hall is honored to host a benefit for Haiti relief on Sunday. January 31. The event kicks off at 4pm with a free ‘Briefing,’ offering insight and eyewitness testimony to the ongoing challenges for the country’s government, economy and national health, and the ways this devastating earthquake has exponentially intensified what was already a ‘silent emergency.’
The two hour program includes: activist/teacher Jesse Hagopian and health educator Sarah Wilhelm, both survivors of the quake; civil rights attorney and NAACP president James Bible; immigrant rights advocate Sandra Aguila; International Studies professor Matthew Sparke; Health Services Professor Stephen Gloyd; Representative Jim McDermott and other guests.
After a dinner break, we will return to the Great Hall at 7pm for a Benefit Concert, with a terrific roster of artists still being assembled. Our lobby will also be given over to members of the public with goods and services for sale to benefit the relief effort; ticket proceeds and other contributions will be directed to Partners in Health and International Training and Education Center for Health, a UW-based NGO providing health services in Haiti that was itself devastated by the quake.
Briefing: Free of charge, no reservations required.
Concert: Suggested donation $20, visit Town Hall Seattle for ticketing and more information.
