Hearts For Haitians: Shopping Centres Across Canada Aid Earthquake Victims

February 1, 2010 – Thirteen shopping centres across Canada are encouraging shoppers to open their ‘hearts’ and their wallets with the launch of their Hearts For Haitians campaign.
Hearts For Haitians is a 20 VIC Management Inc. fundraising program aimed at providing the public with accessible locations to make cash donations for Haiti disaster relief efforts. In return for their donation, customers will receive a Hearts For Haitians lapel sticker and a donation card on which they can put their name. These heart-shaped cards will be displayed throughout each shopping centre to help create awareness for this important cause.

“In the devastating aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, the world has come together in what is one of the largest disaster relief efforts in recent history,” said Jim Hedrich, Vice President of 20 VIC Management Inc. “This program allows us to play a part in helping the people of Haiti rebuild their communities and their lives.”

The Hearts For Haitians campaign will run for the month of February at thirteen shopping centres located across Canada. All proceeds from Hearts For Haitians will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross’ Haiti relief effort. Donations can be made at the customer service centre or online at heartsforhaitians.com.
