The couple behind the Long Beach Basket Brigade, which delivers food to the needy on Thanksgiving, is organizing an effort to benefit earthquake victims in Haiti.
The fund-raiser will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jan. 31 at El Dorado Community Center, 2800 Studebaker Road. The "40 in 4" event, which seeks to raise $40,000 in four hours, will feature performances by the Elm Street Band. Weather permitting, there will be a bounce house and face-painting for children.
Kym and Jeff Livesay, who put on the Basket Brigade, are doing the 40 in 4 event in conjunction with the American Red Cross. For more information or to volunteer, contact Kym Livesay at 562-900-3574 or KLivesay1@msn.com or search for "40 in 4" on Facebook.
