Haiti Soleil Receives Matching Grant Challenge From the Irene S. Scully Foundation to Rebuild Bibliothèque du Soleil

Haiti Soleil is proud to announce a matching challenge grant from the Irene S. Scully Family Foundation, one of Haiti Soleil's major sponsors. The Irene S. Scully Family Foundation will provide up to $25,000 in matching donations to help rebuild Bibliothèque du Soleil, Haiti Soleil's library in the devastated Carrefour-Feuilles Community of Port-au-Prince. That means the foundation will match every dollar you donate to Haiti Soleil.

In honor of the one-year anniversary of the earthquake, all donations sent to Haiti Soleil until January 12th, 2011 will be matched dollar for dollar by the Irene S. Scully Family Foundation, which has funded Haiti Soleil for the past few years. The Foundation strongly believes in the organization's education and community-based work, which is now even more vital to Carrefour-Feuilles residents in post-earthquake Port-au-Prince. The challenge grant officially begins on June 2, 2010 at a special fundraiser event in Oakland, CA. We invite you to celebrate with us at Levende East Restaurant from 7pm-9pm. Levende East is located at 827 Washington Street, Oakland, CA 94607. For more information, please visit the following evite link: Haiti Soleil Fundraiser

Join us in accepting the foundation's challenge to double the value of your generous donation to Haiti Soleil. Help relief efforts in Haiti by sending your individual donation now, or organizing a fundraiser in your area. Spread the word to your social network and let everyone know that for every dollar given to Haiti Soleil, $2 will go to help rebuild a library and a community.
