 HALOs for Haiti's Littlest Angels
Social Butterflies recently assisted Triangle TRACKS with the promotion of a fundraiser for God's Littlest Angels Orphanage in Haiti.
More than $2,000 was raised for the orphanage's various expenses, which
have increased incrementally since the number of orphans also increased
as a result of the January earthquake. Thanks to everyone who supported
this worthy cause.
