Chivas USA to help raise funds at 'Hope for Haiti' events

Chivas USA has joined efforts with KNBC4 and Telemundo Los Angeles to help raise money for Haiti earthquake relief during three 'drive-through' events this weekend, with proceeds going to the American Red Cross and Operation USA's efforts. The three 'Hope for Haiti' events start Friday in Fontana, continue Saturday in Pasadena, and close on Sunday in Anaheim.

The 'Hope for Haiti' events will give people a chance to donate to the American Red Cross and Operation USA with 'drive-through' stations set up at various locations around Southern California. The first event is being held today at the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana until 6:30 p.m. PT, and Saturday's event is at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PT. The final event takes place Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PT at Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

Representatives from the charitable organizations, as well as members of KNBC4 and Telemundo, will be on hand at the events to collect donations. Chivas USA players will also be at the locations, and will provide a free ticket to a Chivas USA game for anyone who makes a donation. Donations can be made in the form of cash or checks, which should be made payable to the American Red Cross/Haiti Relief or Operation USA/Haiti Relief. Donations can also be made online here.
