At this point I think we've all seen enough images of horror and despair from the Haitian earthquake. If the pictures, footage, tweets and all of it hasn't - at one point or another - truly grabbed you by the collar and filled your being with grief and heartsickness, made you want to help in whatever little way you can, then I'm pretty sure you're a cyborg fuckhead. Just saying. Ben Fuller of China Davis seems to quickly be becoming Tacoma's "King of the Fundraiser" and as music director of the "Music Giving Back" organization he's at it again. Sunday at the Swiss, starting at noon, a lengthy list of Tacoma's creative luminaries like Voxxy Vallejo, Evan Purcell, Q Dot, Fuller's China Davis, Daniel Blue, Joe Rosati, Deborah Page and many others will take the stage to benefit the children of BRESMA Orphanage in Petionville, Haiti. The BRESMA Orphanage is supported by Answered Prayers - a Colville, Wash. based volunteer nonprofit that specifically funds three orphanages and multiple ministries in Haiti. Fuller's Music Giving Back, in alliance with the Tacoma French Club and Developing Resilience, PLLC, has taken up Answered Prayers' cause, and all of the proceeds from Sunday's Songs Of Hope event will go directly to the agency's relief efforts. - MD
