Nassau Inn Hosts Community Response - A Benefit for Haiti Earthquake Relief

Princeton, New Jersey – February 10, 2010 – In response to the Haitian earthquake, the local Princeton
community is getting together to raise money for The American Red Cross.
 
In the wake of the disaster; an abundance of relief programs are encouraging Americans to donate to and
help the people of Haiti struck by this tragedy. 100% of all proceeds will go to The American Red Cross
International Response Fund to directly benefit this disaster.
 
“This is a great response to the Haitian disaster. Upon losing five family members and watching the news,
I know this will have a very positive impact for the Haitian people. Any amount of help will be appreciated;
anything will be better than it is now.” -Hubert Dolphin, Nassau Inn employee of 30 years
 
The Princeton and surrounding communities (“Friends” of Community Response), in association with The
American Red Cross, are opening their hearts for Community Response - An Evening to Benefit Haiti
Earthquake Relief. 
 
Nassau Inn initially came up with the concept of the Community Response benefit as members of its family
are waiting to hear news of their loved ones. The response from the community has been astounding;
including immediate action from The Terra Momo Restaurant Group and Jack Morrison of JM Group
Princeton. Community groups including the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce, Princeton
Merchants Association and Hometown Princeton will also be promoting the event to their members for
both attendance and donation.
 
The Community Response benefit will showcase donations of wine, beer and food from local restaurants
and distributors along with live entertainment. Many other Friends are contributing to the silent auction and
raffle drawings throughout the event.
 
The Community response benefit will be held on Tuesday February 16, 2010 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at
the Nassau Inn on Ten Palmer Square, Princeton, NJ. Entry will be $25 per person (cash or check at the
door) with 100% of the proceeds going to the American Red Cross International Response Fund. Parking
fees for all local garages on Hulfish, Chambers and Spring Streets have been donated by Palmer Square
Management and the Borough of Princeton for all attendees of this event.
