Haven Gastropub’s Haven for Haiti Earthquake Relief Fundraiser Proves an Overwhelming Success
The Orange County Restaurant Raises Over Ten Thousand Dollars to Help Aid Earthquake Victims
Orange, CA, February 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Haven Gastropub today announced the donation of $10,900 to its charitable partner Mercy Corps following its successful Haven For Haiti earthquake relief fundraiser held January 25th. The donation represents 100% of the restaurant’s proceeds generated throughout the day-long fundraiser, which was held in an effort to help those afflicted by the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, killing tens of thousands, and leaving many more injured, homeless, and without food or water.
"All of us at Haven are very proud of our employees and the community for making the fundraiser such an overwhelming success." Said Executive Chef Greg Daniels.
In addition to donating the entirety of its profits for the day, Haven staff members volunteered their time, as well as their gratuities. Guests packed the house throughout the day and into the night with many waiting well over an hour for a table.
“We felt we had an opportunity to make a difference and the community came out in full support.” Concluded Daniels.
