Bill Clinton and George W. Bush Appear in New Haiti PSA
Posted on February 25, 2010
In an effort to continue to encourage Americans to continue support the relief efforts in Haiti, Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush appear in a new television PSA released by the Ad Council today. The Presidents acknowledge the generosity of Americans following the tragedy and communicate the immediate and long-term needs in Haiti. Viewers are directed to donate to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund (CBHF). To date, CBHF has received more than 200,000 contributions. Americans can donate online through a secure online donation page. Americans can also donate by text messaging the word "QUAKE" to 20222, which will charge $10 to their cell phone bill.
"In the month following the earthquake, the outpouring of donations from generous individuals all over the world has enabled organizations on the ground in Haiti to deliver much needed supplies and save countless lives," President Clinton said. "But the road to recovery in Haiti has just begun, and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund will continue to work with organizations and the people of Haiti to build back better. We hope this PSA will encourage people to give, not just today, but over the months and years to come."
"President Clinton and I are grateful to all those who have made donations, large and small, to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund," President Bush said. "In the months and years ahead, we will work hard to spend the money on sound rebuilding plans that will ensure a better future for the Haitian people. We believe this PSA will encourage Americans to continue to give what they can."
