Calgary artists will gather in concert to raise funds for a Canadian-founded, Haitian orphanage in Calgary Artists for Haitian Relief, presented at the EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts on March 10 at 7:30pm.
In a joint initiative between the cities of Windsor and Calgary and sponsored by Field Law, funds generated from Calgary Artists for Haitian Relief ticket sales will go directly to a Haitian charity founded by Windsor, Ontario native, Frank Chauvin. 
Chauvin, a retired police detective from the City of Windsor, opened Le Foyer de Filles Chretiennes Orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti in 1988. The girls' orphanage operated in an oppressed neighbourhood for over 20 years, until it was destroyed in the earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010.
In a cross-country effort to rebuild the orphanage, Calgary musicians and artists have donated their time and talent to present an evening of entertainment to help in fundraising efforts for the charity. Featured artists include: The Dudes, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra with Kris Demeanor, Corb Lund, Woodpigeon, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald with his Loud Love Choir, The Polyjesters and Denise Clarke, Jan Lisiecki, Sheri D. Wilson, Bravo!FACT, Cantos Music Foundation, DJ Rob Faust and Curiously Canadian Improv.
Tickets for the event are $25 and available at EPCOR CENTRE for the Performing Arts box office, by calling 403-294-9494 or online at tickets.epcorcentre.org. All ticket sales will go directly to the charity. Donations are also accepted at helpfrankhelphaiti.org.
