LGBT Travel Companies Spearhead Haiti Relief Efforts
As we go to press, the “Hope for Haiti’’ fundraiser is being planned to help those affected by the earthquake in Haiti to take place at the stadium in Anaheim, sponsored by the American Red Cross of Orange County.
The owners of three LGBT cruise lines are raising funds for earthquake assistance: Atlantis Events, a gay cruise with regularly scheduled stops on the coast of Haiti, and a subsidiary, RSVP cruises, have pledged $15,000 in matching contributions to help in the recovery effort. Olivia Cruises has pledged an additional $7,500 in relief funds and is also offering a limited number of free cruises to those who contribute $7,500 or more.
