In January 2010, a devastating earthquake hit Haiti, killing 200,000 people and leaving 1.5 million homeless.  Christian Borgaard, Pastor Kurt Borgaard’s son, and a 7th grader at Carey Jr. High school, came up with a project asking students and staff to donate $1 each to send to the Red Cross for aid.  This initiative was able to collect more than $2,600 in three days.
