Fort Lauderdale - January’s earthquake in Haiti claimed more than 200,000 lives, caused countless injuries and destroyed homes of struggling Haitian families. Now, thousands of families are living in tents and makeshift shelters.

Together, we can make a difference. For every $3,100 raised, we can fund the construction of a house with a latrine.

Please join the City of Fort Lauderdale's Parking & Fleet Services Department for an enjoyable and heartwarming 5K Walk/Run fundraising event.
