When FreeSpirit Yoga owner Andrea Testa saw the devastation and human suffering in Haiti, she wanted to help.
"I felt compelled to organize the businesses in our area and invite the local community to come and help make a contribution to the cause. We want as many people as possible to come to the studio!"
The result is the "Help Haiti Recover" fundraising event on Saturday, Jan. 30.
Proceeds from the event - which includes a silent auction, opportunity drawing and music by Temple Bhajan Band - benefit Doctors Without Borders.
"Businesses from outside the area are also donating to the event," she said. "The response has been fantastic and we are grateful for everyone who can provide something to help raise money," said Testa.
