More than 100 people attended Sunday's event featuring The Naples Chamber Ensembles, which donated their time for the cause. Art Du Vin Wine Bar at The Art Theatre, Jeff Guido Design, and Portfolio Coffeehouse also donated refreshments.

"Thank you to all our neighbors for making Sunday's Haiti Benefit a success," said Portfolio Coffeehouse owner, Kerstin Kansteiner. "The response was amazingly positive. So far, we've raised $1733.60, and the money is still flowing in. The music was fabulous and the wine and champagne were delicious. A great turnout for a very worthy cause."
