All-star athletes form One Team 4 Haiti

The sports world is joining together to aid ongoing Haitian relief efforts, with players from the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL supporting the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund’s work by starting their own campaign. “One Team 4 Haiti” will urge supporters to text for donations.

Individual players and teams alike are making their donations to various relief groups. Haiti native Samuel Dalembert (who is currently the only Haitian-born player in the NBA) of the Philadelphia 76ers taped a PSA for UNICEF and made a $100,000 donation to the organization in front of fans at the 76ers’ game last week! Meanwhile, the Washington Redskins are using owner Dan Snyder’s private plane to fly medical supplies, clothing, and personnel.

In a statement released by the team, Snyder urged, "We're not a relief organization, but there are times when our resources allow us to step in and make a difference, if only a small one. Getting the right people and supplies to Haiti is critically important."

All in all, the sports community has really teamed up to do something- by organizing special events, donating ticket sales, and making personal donations to score support and funds in the fight to help Haiti. Be a part of the team by texting “team” to 20222 ($10 donations for US fans, $5 for Canadian fans).
