On Tuesday March 2, 2010 Pras Michel of PrAsperity Project will continue to bring hope to the 3 million devastated during the Haitian earthquake in "PrAsponse to Haiti." This preeminent international charity event gathers renowned leaders and humanitarians from across the world to help the millions of Haitians who now face homelessness, hunger, disease and poverty.

Grammy Award-winning Haitian-American Pras Michel of the Fugees along with David Blaine, Edward Norton, Alfred Smith IV and other distinguished guests will raise awareness and support. Hitting close to home this tragic event has compelled Pras to advocate for charity transparency and accountability. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund to support their efforts of immediate and long-term recovery.
To support for a brighter future in Haiti, PrAsperity and Salvation Army will also use the proceeds to build a school near the capital, Port-au-Prince. Focusing on education will help Haiti today and tomorrow. The construction and maintenance of the school will provide employment opportunities to the local population. The children affected will learn reading, math and writing skills within their community.

Being held on March 2nd at the Prince George Ballroom in New York, PrAsponse to Haiti is the launch of PrAsperity Project's annual charity event, which will highlight the New York social season. The evening will include live entertainment, fine dining, dancing and a silent auction.

Pras Michel with Angela Severiano will perform.

Hamptons Celebrity Chef Maurizio Marfoglia of Tutto Il Giorno will offer a dinner of culinary delights. The evening’s silent auction will feature fine jewelry, sports memorabilia, celebrity items, art and watches by Audemars Piguet.

Audemars Piguet and Grand Platinum Patrons are beginning a tradition of advancing the mission of PrAsponse, to answer the call of those distressed by all forms of poverty.
