“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this crisis,” said LeVar Burton, of Burton/Wolfe Entertainment and co-host of the Tweetup, “I know from experience that members of the entertainment community can be counted on at times like this, and my partners and I are dedicated to doing what we can”.

During the Tweetup, the hosts are inviting talent and other Sundance Festival attendees to gather and “Tweet” messages encouraging their followers to make donations to the organizations that are accepting funds related to the Haitian disaster. Proceeds raised from corporate sponsors of the event will be earmarked to benefit the victims.
