HAITI.

Our involvement in Haiti started back in 2010. When the earthquake hit in January of that year, the devastation felt so close to home that we couldn't look away. Haiti is a neighbor, at only 600 miles from the United States coast. 

Immediately after the earthquake, we orchestrated a series of spectacularly successful missions to bring medical professionals and healthcare supplies into the country. In addition to providing medical supplies, our nonprofit partners Project C.U.R.E. also introduced us to its associates at Partners in Health, who organized medical teams to be transported into and out of Haiti.

​The shock and horror of what was happening also resonated clearly with many industry partners. Rock It Cargo donated a plane as well as the crew to fly it. APR Energy donated the money to fuel the aircraft, plus trucks and personnel on the ground in Port Au Prince to assure direct and safe delivery of supplies to University Hospital. Upstaging and ShoMotion (now Dreamliner) donated the trucking and labor to move medical supplies from various warehouses around the US to Miami. Diversified Production Services donated crew to load the plane in Miami. Individual roadies paid their own way to get to Miami to handle freight.

​Together, we were able to fly four relief flights to Haiti, moving over 150 doctors, nurses, and emergency personnel in and out of Port Au Prince while delivering more than 50 thousand pounds of medical supplies (worth over $2 million) to people in need.
