New York, NY – May 5, 2009 – The Global Syndicate, a US-based not-for- profit organization that supports worldwide humanitarian efforts, will host their first fundraising event for The Haiti Project at M2 UltraLounge in New York, on May 13, 2009. The Global Syndicate today announced that Superstar recording artist, Kevin Lyttle, will be on hand to perform his hit single, “Turn Me On”. Also slated to make an appearance are New York Giants Brandon Jacobs and Cliff Louis, Heroes star Jimmy Jean-Louis, The Wire’s Jamie Hector (Marlo), and Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries. The event is being sponsored by Starr African Rum.

The Global Syndicate has designated six non-profit organizations—Ciné Institute, Édéyo, Hinche Citizens' Initiative, Hollywood Unites For Haiti (Jimmy Jean-Louis), Project Medishare - Global Institute (Dr. Jeff Sachs) and Yéle Haiti (Wyclef) as direct beneficiaries of The Haiti Project. “These charities were selected for their proven ability to effect change in Haiti”, said Jacques-Philippe Piverger, Founder of The Global Syndicate. The organizations will be required to submit detailed program reports on usage of funds to The Global Syndicate.

The event promises to be a huge success, bringing much-needed aid to the 205 year-old island nation.

About The Haiti Project
The Haiti Project is a nationwide fundraising and awareness campaign that will generate more than five hundred thousand dollars to support critical humanitarian efforts in Haiti. Led by The Global Syndicate, this collaborative effort unites socially-conscious individuals in support of real action on the ground in Haiti. The effort will bring about highly targeted, informative and powerful events in key cities across the United States. Our proceeds will directly support existing non-profit organizations that provide lifesaving education, healthcare, and economic development services to Haitian men, women, and children living on the island – a majority of which survive on less than two dollars per day.
