Out of tragedy comes compassion and hope. Our Admissions Coordinator of Privai Academy, Gloria Coppola was inspired to take the generous hearts and gifted hands of the healing arts community that thrives in one city and coordinate efforts to organize an event that would donate resources to support the people of Haiti through Partners in Health.
On January 31, 2010, Privai Academy hosts Massage for Haiti, Hands Across America. Within 24 hours of confirming the concept and sharing the idea with a close network of professionals, the donations started pouring in. Thousands of dollars and dozens of hours were donated to contribute to help raise money for this cause. Within 48 hours, four other cities had signed up to become part of the Hands Across America and have committed to hosting their own events to raise money.
I am truly amazed at the effort, dedication and outpouring of support that the community and now country is sharing for this cause. Please join us on Sunday, January 31st, 2010 from 1-4pm at Privai Academy located at Exit 51 on Interstate 40 in front of the Fun Depot!
Many thanks to those that are making this happen, but especially to Gloria Coppola who has spearheaded this event and made this flickering thought a national event!
With gratitude,
Ilana Alberico
Founding Partner, Privai Academy
