3rd Ward and The Danger raise over $23,000 for Haiti

It started at 9p, and ended well past sunrise. This past Saturday, 3rd Ward and The Danger raised over $23,000 for Domes of Haiti with Beauty + Ruin, a glorious fire-spouting, tattered gown-wearing night of art, music, and performance. Our entire 2nd floor -- 13,000 square feet -- transformed into a landscape of devastating beauty featuring large geodesic domes, ragged tents, hidden lounges, and performances ranging from Haitian dance, to Brooklyn's brashest marching bands, to a roving sangria pump. We are humbled by this incredible contribution and thank all our performers, our build crew, and the over 1,000 people who made Beauty + Ruin an unforgettable night that will make a real impact in Haiti's still-urgent aftermath.

Domes for Haiti is a grass roots disaster relief project based out of Brooklyn that addresses the immediate need for hurricane resistant shelter in Haiti. They are committed to sending ten pre-fabricated portable geodesic domes to Haiti in time for Hurricane season. This project was conceived in late February in response to the lack of safe shelter presently available for displaced people in Haiti, specifically, orphans.
