Almost every day we hear stories of various fundraisers, collection drives, and mobilization of people in support of Haiti. One of our most unusual fundraisers was right here in our home town area of Norfolk, VA. 
Physicians for Peace received a check for $394.94 raised by the students of Willoughby Elementary in response to the earthquake in Haiti. Their fundraiser was to lock their principal, Sharon Phillips, in ‘jail’ until she could be bailed out by the students. The students then had to pay $1.00 towards her "bail" fund to visit her jail decorated office, which included a little hole to pop her head out. Of course, the children and the teachers had a great time with this fundraiser and the $394.94 surpassed their goal to reach $300.00 to release her from jail.
Please, please, share your stories and pictures with us. We love putting them on our Facebook and tweeting it to get the word out about our wonderful supporters.
