Hello all,

Things have been crazy lately with the new album and being on tour to promote life, music, and the cause at hand. Haiti is still in need and should never be forgotten. As of late, the efforts are concentrated for a bigger push towards the end of this year and on into the beginning of 2013, and for the time being in order to make this happen we need support more than ever. On a related note, the good people over at Valiant Watches have done so much for the cause. Hop on over there, if you wish, and pick up one of these emblems that not only let’s you know you are doing good every day, but reminds others and bring awareness to the rest of us that may not see.

Thank you all for your help thus far, let’s keep on!!

 this is where all the donations have been going and it’s because of all the generous donations that we’ve been able to be a part of this amazing campaign. 

The project you helped fund in Caracoll village is in central Haiti in a really remote area that’s difficult to access. Reaching the community of 2,500 people requires a long and bumpy drive in the mountains - when the road cuts off, you have to continue hiking an hour and a half on foot. The community is really spread out across a mountainous landscape and some of them were hiking a steep 45 minutes to gather water from a mountain spring. The spring was open and swampy - and people were afraid to gather water there because cholera (a water related disease) had devastated near by communities. 
You’ve helped change that. 
Now the spring at the top of the mountain is protected and clean and safe drinking water being piped to the whole community.Charity water volunteers celebrated with the whole community who had hiked all of the project materials to the site and contributed to a lot of the manual labor. They also met the water committee who will be helping maintain the project for years to come.

thank you all for your support

message/ contest from tyson 2.22.11
CONTEST ENDS APRIL 1ST !!!!!

So, we have been writing relentlessly for the last year and are hitting the studio to lay down the tracks for our fourth record soon. My last year has been devoted to music and my charity, donthateonhaiti.org <

http://donthateonhaiti.org> . So far, we have donated about $25,000 to Charity:Water, a true not-for-profit organization that builds clean water projects across the world. Every $5,000 we generate builds a clean water well in Haiti.

   To coincide with our going into the studio the band and I have decided to have a contest to help maximize our efforts to generate cash for the cause. So here’s the idea:

  Whoever raises the most money for donthateonhaiti.org <

http://donthateonhaiti.org>  by APRIL 1ST  of this year will win the following sweet ass prizes.

1. A one-on-one skype session with you and the band in the studio to talk about tunes, the charity, what you ate for lunch, whatever you want!!

2. A guitar signed by the band

3. A Don’t Hate On Haiti shirt signed by the band

All you have to do to win is spread the love and raise as much dough as you can. Once we have all the monies counted and collected, we will announce the winner on all our our social networking outlets.

Send all contributions to

c/o Dont Hate On Haiti

P.O. Box 4084

Santa Monica, CA 90411

Attach your contact information so we can reach you if you’re the lucky winner!!

Good luck!!!
