Hope For Haiti: Hollywood Unites For Haiti Earthquake Telethon
Click here to watch the Hope For Haiti Telethon. Visit Hopeforhaiti.org to donate. NEW YORK — Though the all-star telethon was titled “Hope for Haiti Now,” for most of its two hours, it was filled with tear-jerking, depressing moments, from mournful songs and grim-faced pleas from celebrities to the suffering faces of the quake-battered victims themselves. It took Haiti’s own native son to lift Friday evening’s despairing tone to one of hope and even revival. “Enough of this moping, man, let’s rebuild Haiti, let’s show ‘em how we do it where we come from!” Wyclef Jean, the singer and producer, shouted after singing the downbeat “Rivers of Babylon,” with a Haitian flag around his neck. He segued into the joyful tune “Yele” with an island beat, as musicians danced around him, singing the refrain: “Earthquake, we see the earth shake, but the soul of the Haitian people will never break!” Jean showcased the resilient spirit of a nation in the midst of catastrophe. On Jan. 12, a powerful earthquake struck the already impoverished country, killing an estimated 200,000 people, displacing many more and reducing much of Haiti to ruins. The telethon, shown on all the major networks and streamed live on many Web sites, was quickly put together by George Clooney and MTV Networks, along with the help of others, to raise millions of dollars for the Caribbean country. The list of participating celebrities rivaled any top awards show: Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt, former President Clinton, Muhammad Ali, Beyonce, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Halle Berry, and many more. Luminaries like Steven Spielberg worked the phone banks, talking to donors. “Hey Steven Spielberg, it’s really cool to talk to you,” one woman said to the Academy Award-winning filmmaker. John Mayer called in a $500,000 donation before the telethon began, according to a representative for MTV. Officials did not have an immediate total for the relief funds raised by the telethon. Some stars like Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood recounted tragic moments from the quake; others like Denzel Washington offered inspirational words.

Music stars raise £35m in Hope for Haiti telethon
The televised appeal, featuring Madonna, Sting, Rihanna and Shakira, has shattered the record for a disaster-relief telethon, raising more than £35m for victims of the Haiti earthquakeFriday night’s star-studded Hope for Haiti telethon has shattered previous records for such events. The international broadcast, which featured performances by Madonna, Sting, Rihanna and Shakira, has already raised more than £35m for Oxfam, Unicef, Partners in Health and other earthquake relief groups.By Saturday night, viewers of Hope for Haiti had “set a new standard of giving”, according to Lisa Paulsen, CEO of the non-profit that co-ordinated the programme. While a 2001 telethon for those affected by the 9/11 attacks raised more than $100m (£62m), this was over three weeks. US telethons for victims of the 2004 Asian tsunami and the victims of Hurricane Katrina raised only $18.3m (£11.4m) and $40m (£24.8m) respectively, according to People magazine. Even before corporate donations, Hope for Haiti has reportedly broken the record for a disaster-relief telethon.In addition to public donations, the telethon’s NGO stakeholders will also receive profits from sales of performances on iTunes and other digital music services. Users can download tracks like Bono’s collaboration with Rihanna, Jay-Z and the Edge, or Justin Timberlake’s cover of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.

‘Hope For Haiti’ Brings In $57 Million
Friday’s ‘Hope For Haiti’ telethon, organized by George Clooney and broadcast across nearly every major network, raised over $57 million in phone, online and text donations, in the 24 hours following the event. The telethon will continue to spur donations through the sale of the night’s musical performances on iTunes. The recorded album was #1 in 18 countries over the weekend. The money raised will be split equally among seven relief organizations: Oxfam America, Partners in Health, the Red Cross, UNICEF, The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, the United Nations World Food Programme, and Wyclef Jean’s Yéle Haiti. The telethon’s website, HopeForHaitiNow.org, is still accepting donations which will continue to be distributed equally among the nonprofit organizations. The Entertainment Industry Foundation, which manages the website, has waived all administrative fees. After the telethon, many potential donors reported having trouble getting through on the phone line, or not receiving confirmation messages after texting GIVE to 50555. Trevor Neilson, president of the Global Philanthropy Group, believes millions of dollars were likely lost due to these technical discrepancies. More on George Clooney.
