To date over US$20,000 worth of proceeds in form of money, clothes, shoes or medical supplies have been sent to Haiti via Partners in Health, a health care outreach organization that has worked in Haiti for over 20 years, and the Red Cross through UChicago for Haiti.
Fundraising events included tabling in the Reynolds Club collecting donations big and small.

In addition to the successful college effort, the professional schools helped a lot as well. For instance, the medical center sent several surgical and post-operative care teams to Haiti. The Graduate Business Council collected and matched donations of more than $1500 from the Booth community and the alumni association website allowed donations to be done online via credit cards.
The University of Chicago’s efforts did not end after the news stopped broadcasting about Haiti’s devastation. More doctors, nurses, and volunteers continue to go to Haiti to help via the university’s Global Health Initiative. Events are still being organized by UChicago for Haiti and other groups to ensure that help continues to reach those affected in Haiti.
These events include but are certainly not limited to:

Court Theatre
5535 S. Ellis Avenue, Chicago, IL
"How did Haiti, the enfant terrible of the Caribbean become its bȇte noir?"
In this dramatic monologue, CSRPC Artist-In-Residence Gina Athena Ulysse considers how the past occupies the present. Ulysse weaves history, personal narrative, theory and statistics in spokenword with Vodou chants to reflect on childhood memories, social (in)justice, spirituality, and the incessant de-humanization of Haitians.
The performance is followed with a talkback.
Co-sponsored by the Center for International Studies, the Center for Latin American Studies, The Center for Gender Studies, Court Theatre, the Human Rights Program, Rising in Solidarity with Ayiti (R.I.S.A.) & UChicago for Haiti. Free and open to the public.
