HEARTS FOR HAITI: An American Dining Relief Benefit Launched By Bravo TV’s Top Chef Contestant

Hollywood, Florida — Haitian-born Ron Duprat of Bravo's hit series "Top Chef" has teamed up with three fellow contestants — Mattin Noblia, Hector Santiago and Michael Voltagggio — to welcome other fine chefs nationwide in an all-chef Relief Benefit on St. Valentine's Day for his native land.

ON FEBRUARY 14, 2010: Participating chefs and restaurants will donate a percentage of their receipts to Hearts for Haiti: An American Dining Relief Benefit. Donated funds will be divided between Hollywood Unites For Haiti and Kinship Circle Animal Disaster Aid. On-the-ground efforts will get 100% of donated funds.

“Animals suffer in disasters just as people do,” says Kinship Circle president Brenda Shoss. “They are frightened, alone, injured and hungry. Our organization has united with animal welfare groups worldwide under the banner Animal Relief Coalition of Haiti (ARCH) to offer direct rescue and veterinary care, as well as long term vaccinations and measures to prevent disease outbreak such as rabies and leptospirosis.”

CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES
Kinship Circle Animal Disaster Aid, a major partner in the Animal Relief Coalition of Haiti (ARCH), is a nonprofit that mobilizes volunteers, supplies and resources for animal victims through its network of trained responders in the U.S. and Canada. Kinship Circle works in agreement with local agencies or other NGOs to deploy teams of highly trained and credentialed animal responders for assessment, search and rescue, and emergency sheltering aid.

Hollywood Unites For Haiti, founded in 2008 by Jimmy Jean Louis, star of NBC's hit, "Heroes," is a nonprofit focusing on enriching the lives of Haitian children. HUFH has partnered with the nonprofit Pan American Development Fund to send supplies into Haiti from its border warehouse. Mr. Louis is PADF's Goodwill Ambassador for Haiti's Children program and celebrity spokesperson for the joint relief effort.
