Brooklyn Mocha Moms Host Haiti Fundraiser This Saturday

Mocha Moms in Brooklyn are hosting a "Families for Haiti" Black History Month fundraiser this Saturday, Feb. 27th.

What they collect will go to one of our favorite organizations, Partners in Health, as well as to a Brooklyn-based women's group called Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees.

The place will be the popular Madiba Restaurant on DeKalb Ave. in Fort Greene. The time: 2 p.m.

Cost is $10 per family (which means "unlimited children").

Be there, moms, dads, kids -- and all others wanting to help Haitian brothers and sisters coping with an unspeakable crisis.

See BrooklynRon's previous slideshow promoting Partners in Health and the work it is doing in Haiti.
