ROCKFORD (WREX) - Local media outlets, including WREX, help raise thousands of dollars for the relief effort in Haiti.
The drive held Thursday at CherryVale Mall raised more than $30,000. That money will now go to the American Red Cross, Hope for Haitians, Kids Around the World, the Salvation Army and the United Way.
"Everybody does something little but those littles add together to make a big impact so we're grateful to be part of this," said Kids Around the World President Jim Rosene.
The event was coordinated by our partners at Maverick Media. We'd like to thank everyone who donated for their generosity.
