A week after the earthquake in Haiti, the devastation continues. The event industry has a history of contributing time, resources, and money to worthy causes, in flush times and in times of desperate need. BizBash would like to encourage you to donate to help the people of Haiti, and to consider incorporating a fund-raising element for Haiti into your upcoming events.
