Beyonce Launches Campaign
Jeezy To Give Concert
To Aid Haitian Pediatric Wing
In ATL To Celebrate
After recent reports that the Red Cross possibly stiffed the citizens of Haiti out of mil- lions after the 2010 earth- quake, Beyonce presents another way you can help the children of the struggling na- tion.
In May, Beyonce visited the country’s only children’s hospital, Saint Damien Pedi- atric Hospital in Port Au Prince. The hospital recently lost funding to supply proper
paign to lend a helping hand. Through BeyGOOD, you can purchase a BeyGOOD Haiti t-shirt, in which all pro- ceeds of the sale of the T-shirt go directly to St. Damien in re-opening an abandoned wing and continuing aid to the
ailing children.
For each shirt sold, the t-
shirt company through which the shirts are made, will also make a donation to St Damien.
