Magic Support Haiti Relief Efforts

January 13, 2010

On January 12, 2010 a massive earthquake rocked the Caribbean nation of Haiti, causing mass devastation.

The Magic and NBA Cares are joining forces with long-time partner UNICEF, who have been working in Haiti since 1949, to bring attention to the crisis and much needed emergency assistance to the victims.

Despite heavy damages to its own offices in Port-au-Prince, UNICEF is ready to provide immediate support to the estimated 3 million victims of the unfolding humanitarian crisis following the earthquake. UNICEF officials estimate that half of those affected by the quake are children.

Funds are urgently needed to provide safe water, temporary shelter systems and essential medical supplies and additional services to the displaced to aid in relief efforts.

NBA Cares is encouraging our fans to donate to the ongoing emergency relief efforts in Haiti and the Caribbean region. To see how you can help, please visit: www.unicefusa.org/haitiquake or call 1-800-4UNICEF
