TPSD Raises $17,056.49 for Haiti Relief Fund

February 04, 2010

Tupelo Public School District partnered together with The City of Tupelo, local churches, and the Northeast Mississippi Chapter of the American Red Cross to launch a community-wide effort to help provide aid for relief efforts in Haiti. The money that was donated to the "Tupelo-Haiti Relief Project" fund went directly to CREATE Foundation. The Tupelo Public School District raised the most money of any group that participated! The total donation from the citizens of Tupelo was $56,683.44! 100% of all donations will now go directly to relief efforts in Haiti. A very special thank you to all of our students, staff, and parents who made our Wave of Hope Foundation such a success for the people of Haiti!
