Dawgs for Haiti

On January 12, 2010, the worst natural disaster to affect the western hemisphere in decades struck some of our poorest and most vulnerable neighbors. A 7.0 magnitude earthquake rattled the small Caribbean nation of Haiti, just ten miles outside of the densely populated city of Port-au-Prince. More than 50,000 people may be dead and buried among the rubble.


Volunteer UGA and the University of Georgia are answering the call to action. Dawgs for Haiti is a bulldog nation-wide effort organizing to raise money to support the victims of this devastating earthquake.


$50,000 for 50,000. That is our pledge, and our proceeds will be devided evenly between the relief efforts of the Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders. The bulldog nation has 34,000 students, 250,000 alumni, and countless more members around the world. Now is the time for us to come together in the spirit of Southern hospitality and give our support to the victims of this terrible disaster.


Please donate generously.
