Joe Dressner
Thank you for attending today's benefit event. PIH has been working on the ground in Haiti for over 20 years. They urgently need your support to help those affected by the recent earthquake. Partners In Health (PIH) works to bring modern medical care to poor communities in nine countries around the world. Based in Boston, PIH employs more than 11,000 people worldwide, including doctors, nurses and community health workers. The vast majority of PIH staff are local nationals based in the communities they serve.

Three ways to donate;
1. Cash donations will be consolidated and a money order/bank check will be mailed to PIH. We will have a record of individuals and amounts, but you will not receive a document for tax purposes.
2. Donations by check, with your return address, will be mailed to PIH. You will receive a document in the mail from PIH usable for a tax deduction.
3. Donations by credit card, with your billing address and email, will be processed today and will receive an email confirmation from PIH usable for a tax deuction.
