Members Raise Funds for Doctors Without Borders

WEST CHESTER, PA - April 24, 2010 - Members at ACAC Fitness & Wellness Centers recently raised $7,673 for disaster relief in Haiti. In addition to member donations, ACAC contributed $25 for every new membership purchased during the month following the earthquake. The funds will be directed to Doctors Without Borders, a medical humanitarian organization with several health facilities in Port-Au-Prince, Carrefour and the Léogâne and Dufort region of Haiti.

"The heartbreaking images and stories in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti inspired ACAC members and staff to take action to help those struggling to recover," says Corky Bishop, general manager at ACAC. "Haiti may not be making as many headlines anymore, but there is still tremendous need. We"re proud that ACAC members wanted to offer their support."

Bishop notes that organizations like Doctors Without Borders go beyond providing primary and secondary health care. They also support efforts to improve the dire living conditions in Haiti and distribute necessary non-food items.

"Haiti's recovery will take time, energy and resources," says Bishop. "We thank everyone for their contributions to the relief effort."
