We've told you a few times about the fundraising efforts Wyclef Jean has launched through his Yele Haiti foundation to aid the victims of Tuesday's earthquake disaster in Haiti.
And, hopefully, by now you've heard that MTV is teaming up with Oscar-winning actor George Clooney for a Haitian Relief Telethon next Friday (January 22).
On Thursday (January 14), Blink-182 got into the action as well, releasing an exclusive charity T-shirt, with all proceeds earmarked for the American Red Cross' relief efforts on the devastated Caribbean island nation. The shirt, which features the band's rabbit mascot running with a Haitian flag, are available on the band's Web site for $15. Shirts ordered now will start shipping on January 22. Via Twitter, band member Mark Hoppus has also encouraged people to donate via text to 501501, which will automatically send $5 to Yele Haiti.
Here are some other ways you can take part in Haitian relief efforts.
Relief efforts have driven Facebook and Twitter users to take action and a number of other celebrities have joined in the fight to send urgently needed supplies to the impoverished Caribbean nation, including Alyssa Milano, Olivia Wilde, LL Cool J, Jessica Alba, Demi Moore and Joel and Benji Madden.
All told, tens of millions of dollars have already been raised by various organizations (Wyclef's text campaign has already pulled in $1 million alone, with more coming) and American troops will soon be on the ground in the impoverished nation. In times of great devastation, it's clear that every little bit counts.
