The tragedy of the recent Haitian Earthquake has touched the lives of thousands and individuals around the country are looking for ways to help. Local business owner of BounceU of Sarasota has taken it upon herself to make a difference by working with a local organization that is directly benefiting the victims of this natural disaster.
On Wednesday, February 3, 2010 from 10am-7pm, the BounceU of Sarasota will host a “Families Helping Haiti” fundraiser. The fundraiser will benefit a local non-profit organization, Agape Flights, a non-profit Christian missionary that has delivered supplies and support to Haiti for more than thirty years prior to the Haiti earthquake tragedy. Each week, Agape Flights serves 130 missionaries and missions in the earthquake ravaged city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and an additional 200 more families throughout Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Bahamas.
“When I first heard about the Haiti Earthquake I knew I wanted to help and would offer my services to make an impact,” said Meredith Armstrong, Owner of BounceU of Sarasota. “Every day at BounceU we touch hundreds of lives with our spectacular events, but today we are able to go global with our abilities and make a difference to people that need us more than ever.”
