Kirk Franklin In Haiti For “Rise Up For Haiti” Benefit Concert

Kirk Franklin is taking part in a benefit concert to commemorate the 7th Anniversary of the Earthquake that ravaged Haiti on January 12, 2010.

In January 2010, following Haiti’s earthquake, Grammy Award winning gospel artist, Kirk Franklin proudly led a movement called “Artists United for Haiti,” where performers like Yolanda Adams, Shirley Caesar, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Natalie Grant, Fred Hammond, Tamela Mann, Mary Mary, Donnie McClurkin, Smokie Norful, Marvin Sapp, BeBe Winans, Cece Winans, and Marvin Winans shared their talents to raise funds for earthquake relief and today his passion for Haiti continues.

“Rise Up for Haiti will showcase the resilience of the Haitian people, while sharing the love of Jesus Christ, and giving Haitians the peace, unity, love and hope they need to be reminded that they have not been forgotten, even now in the wake of Hurricane Matthew,” says Terrell Reid from Giving Hearts with Love Foundation.

As a South Florida based non-profit 501©(3) organization, the Giving Hearts with Love Foundation has been committed to enhancing growth in underprivileged communities including in Haiti. Since its founding, the Giving Hearts with Love Foundation has been active in Haiti distributing aid and provisions to those in need and has a long-term goal to build schools that will provide Haitian children the quality education they deserve.
