Stand for Haiti has come together through the generous efforts of partners such as WFCR/WNNZ, the Center for Student Development, the UMass Dept. of Music and Dance, the Haitian American Student Association, the City of Springfield - University of Massachusetts Amherst Partnership, the UMass Alumni Association, the Daily Collegian, the Amherst Chamber of Commerce, WGBY, 93.9 The River, the Valley Advocate, the Daily Hampshire Gazette, The Recorder, Hampshire Hospitality Group and the Northampton Arts Council. Our goal is to raise as much money as we can for Partners in Health's relief efforts in Haiti.
