NASHVILLE, TN...3/2/10...An all-star cast of musicians gathered before a SOLD OUT crowd for

fund.
The concert, which featured Alison Krauss and Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas, Big Kenny, Mat Kearney,
Jars of Clay, Brandon Heath, NEEDTOBREATHE, Dave Barnes, and Matt Wertz was sponsored by Gaylord Entertainment Company and was streamed live at HelpHaitiLive.com.
GIBSON Guitars generously donated a guitar signed by “Help Haiti Live” performers, which is currently being auctioned online at HelpHaitiLive.com/auction. Other auction items include:
All net proceeds from HelpHaitiLive.com will go to Compassion International’s Haiti disaster relief fund. All money raised in response to the Haiti earthquake will be used immediately to re-equip Compassion's local support structure and to provide for the immediate needs of Compassion-assisted children and families.
Compassion has been meeting the physical and spiritual needs of Haitians for more than forty years and will continue to serve them in this time of extreme need. Already Compassion International has supplied more than 15,000 families with clean water, food, blankets, temporary shelter, medical supplies and counseling. Donations will lay bricks, feed, educate, clothe, heal and rebuild Haiti for many months to come.
Compassion International is the world's largest Christian child development organization that permanently releases children from poverty. Founded in 1952, Compassion successfully tackles global poverty one child at a time, serving more than 1 million children in 26 of the world's poorest countries. Recognizing that poverty is more than a lack of money, Compassion works holistically through local churches to address the individual physical, economic, educational and spiritual needs of children, enabling them to thrive, not just survive. Charity Navigator, America's largest charity evaluator, has awarded Compassion its highest rating “four stars” for eight consecutive years.
“Help Haiti Live” is owned by Compassion International and was produced by Shaun Groves and Synergy Production Group.
