This past Saturday, February 27th, Synergy Production Group was proud to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Standing backstage at the mother church of country music with two radios clipped to my shirt, I and 2300 others listened intently to the perfection of a Alison Krauss and Union Station with Jerry Douglas in tow. Mat Kearney, Dave Barnes, Matt Wertz, Jars of Clay, Jon Foreman, NEEDTOBREATHE, and Big Kenny also graced the Ryman stage with their presences. What is more impressive yet, is the reason so many multi-platinum selling, Grammy decorated artists sang this past Saturday non other than hope. Hope for people of Haiti that morn the loss of their loved ones in a devastating earthquake less than two months ago. Compassion International with the leadership of Shaun Groves managed to get all of these artists to donate their time in hopes that others would donate their dollars to a people who have nothing left. Synergy Production Group is proud to have aided in producing such an incredible evening of giving. It you so desire to give you can do so here: www.helphaitilive.com.

Call to action and to rebuild

We have all been moved in the past month with the images we have seen from Haiti.  Much of it is unthinkable and the quantity of life loss is hard to process.   Over the past month, many of us have seen the benefit events and then text messaging campaigns to benefit the people of Haiti.  A lot has been done and a lot of money raised, so if you have given, thank you.  100’s of millions of dollars have been given so we should be good right?

Think again.  We spend 1.1 billion on a football stadium for the Dallas Cowboys here in the US and the people of Haiti need to rebuild much of their country.  It will take more than what has already been given.  In the beginning the focus is on disaster relief.  The media coverage fades when it moves beyond disaster and sensational stories and into the reality of re-building.   Here is your chance to change that.

In partnership with Compassion International and some amazing partners, Synergy is working to produce a simulcast event on February 27 that will take place in Nashville and Los Angeles.  Many artists have come out to support this event.  Compassion has been in Haiti for 42 years and will be there to rebuild.  Visit the website HelpHaitiLive for more information and mark your calendars for February 27th at 7pm CST to watch an amazing live event.

The story doesn’t end when the media coverage does.  The rebuilding process is extensive.  We can give more and we encourage you to support this event and the efforts of Compassion International.
