Access Sacramento is hosting a 3 hour telethon on Friday February 26 in our TV Studio. We will be putting together crews to tape record three, one-hour programs that will then playback from 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM that same night.

Produced in partnership with the "Buck-up or Shut Up!" event organized by the Sacramento Music Alliance, our combined efforts will ask local viewers to remember Haiti and ocntinue to donate. The devastating earthquake that killed so many and left so many more families homeless, will take many years to rebuild. Let's not forget them - Haitians of all ages still need our help.

Sacramento musicians are joining together with Access Sacramento to bring this appeal to local viewers. There are three ways to help. Attend - Volunteer - Donate

(1) ATTEND the "Buck Up or Shut Up!" concert this coming Saturday (Feb. 13 - Second Saturday) at the Beatnik Studios 2421 17th Street 6:30-10:30 PM. Bands include: Ito, Poetiic, Souferior and the Immigrants, UKA Celeb, Derius, Urban Fire, DJ Wokstar, Mr. C-Well, and Sonada Malay, and Lady Tasz. The host for the evening will be Channel 18's "Rapkind TV" master of ceremonies, Mafiyo. For more details contact Sarah, the event organizer at: seracy@playwidease.com or visit the web site: www.playwidease.com

(2) VOLUNTEER your time to help with the televised event on February 26 (Friday) in our TV studio from Noon-7 PM. Contact Michele Barbaria by e-mail at: mbarbaria@accesssacramento.org if you are certified to work on Studio TV crews. The above music event will be combined as roll-ins to in-studio interviews with many local dignitaries including Handy Gedeon host of "Caribbean Expose TV" also seen on Channel 18.

(3) DONATE at the "live" event this Saturday or by going to one of the many on-line donation sites including www.redcross.org to give all you can to help rebuild Haiti.

Sacramentans have given much already but there is much more to do in this fragile country. Help us help them.
