Inova Program for Haiti
(Knox is the director of the NGO I am a board member for)
Dear Inova Family:
As you know, on Tuesday the island nation of Haiti suffered a calamitous earthquake, injuring or killing hundreds of thousands, and disrupting supplies of water, food and shelter to millions of inhabitants. Inova has a longstanding relationship with the wonderful people of Haiti, working closely with such organizations as the Community Coalition for Haiti (CCH), and we are working hard to provide supplies and services to as many of the sick and wounded as we possibly can.
I know you feel the same way, because I’ve gotten many inquiries from Inova employees about what they can do to help. As you’ve probably heard, right now the situation on the ground in Haiti is so complicated that the best way for us to help is to donate money to relief efforts. Consequently, Inova has set up a fund through the Inova Health System Foundation that will funnel 100% of the money you donate to CCH and other aid organizations that have immediate ability to help the people of Haiti.
You can donate one of several ways. To donate online, go to www.inova.org/donate, then click the “Make an online gift today” link. When filling out the form, be sure to choose “Haiti Relief” from the Designation drop-down list. You may also send a check to the Inova Health System Foundation, 8110 Gatehouse Road, Suite 200 East, Falls Church, VA 22042. Make your check out to “Inova Health System Foundation” and make sure you designate “Haiti Relief” on the Memo line of the check.
You may also donate by phone or by fax – the information for doing that is on the Foundation Web page noted above. If you have any questions about donating, please contact Paige Moses at Paige.Moses@inova.org or 703-289-2064.
Caring for people is a core Inova value and I see it at work in so many of your recent words and actions. Thank you for all you can do to help Haiti in this hour of need.
God bless you,
Knox
