Shaggy for Food for the Poor, Boca Raton, Florida (February 4)
Shaggy, who just organized the massive Shaggy & Friends charity concert for the Bustamante Children’s Hospital in Jamaica, has partnered with the South Florida based-nonprofit organization Food For The Poor to help build homes in Haiti. He is scheduled to perform at Food For The Poor’s annual Building Hope Gala at The Polo Club of Boca Raton on Saturday, February 4!

Haiti is still reeling from the devastating earthquake in 2010, which affected nearly 3 million people and killed about 220,000. About half a million Haitians are still homeless. Attendees of the Gala will be invited to create a legacy by pledging to build critically needed houses during the charity’s live house-rally. For additional information regarding the Building Hope Gala, sponsorship levels, and tickets, visit Food for the Poor.
