Help for Haiti – A Simple Text
The devastation in Haiti is simply beyond comprehension, but we can help with a simple text! By texting “HAITI” to “90999″, it’ll automatically donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts and charge users’ cell phone bills.
Read more about it on the White House Blog.
You may have heard that texting money to Haiti, while easy it may take a while to arrive. This can be true, but is not true for the texting to the Red Cross. The Red Cross will commit the funds before they actually receive payment.
ft you text other outreach organizations, it is possible that they may need to wait until they receive the actual funds. This can take weeks because it depends on when you receive your phone bill and pay it.

The Crew Of the Morning Star
One of the most philanthropic and caring individuals of our time recently passed away, Roy Disney. Many know Roy as nephew to his famous uncle, Walt, but relatively few know the many achievements and good works that Roy accomplished in his own right.
One of these, was founding a team of young people to come together as a team and compete in one of the great sailboat racing events of our time. He funded their training, their boat (the Morning Star), and their coaching staff. In the process, he took a group of young adults and gave them an experiential education like no other.
About a year ago I had the opportunity to meet this amazing group of individuals through my colleague and good friend, Harry Horgan, founder of Shake-A-Leg Miami, a non-profit organization that teaches disabled young people how to sail. We gathered with the Morning Star Crew and viewed the movie of the boat’s namesake. What an incredible opportunity to see how education, in its many and varied forms, can build character, intelligence, resourcefulness, and camaraderie.
Thank you, Roy!
