“One Team 4 Haiti” Campaign Created in Collaboration with the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund

Seattle, Washington, USA – February 5, 2010 – Haitian telecom operator Voilà and its parent company Trilogy International Partners are partnering with The Jack Brewer Foundation (JBF Worldwide) and the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) to bring NFL athletes to Haiti for a service trip to continue to raise awareness and relief funds. The trip will highlight the NFL’s commitment to continue helping Haiti recover from the devastation of the recent earthquake. This partnership, along with the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, has created the “One Team 4 Haiti” campaign. A national public service announcement featuring professional NFL athletes and announcing the campaign will air during the Super Bowl.

“We are excited to host the NFL players in Haiti.  Their influence and public personas can do a lot to keep the public connected and the awareness going,” said Brad Horwitz, CEO, Trilogy International Partners. “We will work with them to organize projects in which they can make a lasting contribution to Haiti’s reconstruction.”

The service trip will bring continued awareness about the ongoing need to rebuild and support this impoverished country.  The NFL players committed to this relief effort include William Joseph, Jonathan Vilma, (both Haitian-born), Ryan Grant, Bryant McKinnie, Danny Clark, Barrett Green, Kevin Little, Jack Brewer, Sidney Rice, Abe Elam, Ronald Fields, Bobby Engram, Abdul Hodge, Jeremiah Finley, Charles Fisher, EJ Henderson, Champ Bailey, Corey Chavous, Anthony Becht, Robert Griffith, Fred Robbins, Darrelle Revis, Matt Spaeth and more.

“I am heartened by the outpouring of support for the people of Haiti after this terrible earthquake,” said Jack Brewer, Founder of JBF Worldwide. “Every corner of America has contributed resources and attention to the needs of this affected country.  The NFL and NFLPA are looking to create a sustained engagement in Haiti’s recovery through this partnership.”

The trip will promote continued focus on, and support of, Haiti. The NFL players will have an opportunity to create written and video diaries of their experiences, so their fans can join them on the trip. Fans will be able to read first-hand the thoughts and messages of their favorite players and connect to Haiti through their eyes.

Voilà and Trilogy are committed to the recovery of Haiti. After celebrating 10 years in Haiti, Trilogy and Voilà received the prestigious Award for Corporate Excellence from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in December 2009, honoring Trilogy’s and Voilà’s commitment to social improvement through youth and education programs and through significant contributions to the economic development of Haiti.
