From an MIT e-mail announcement:

In light of the devastation in Haiti following the recent earthquake, several MIT students felt compelled to act in order to offer their support. The group felt that it was not enough to donate individually and set out to raise money for the relief effort on a larger scale and as a community. The result is the Haiti Relief Benefit Showcase where the MIT community can gather to support the relief efforts while also enjoying performances from local students and alumni. Read more about MIT Haiti Relief Efforts in The Tech.

Please consider showing your support for this student led effort. The Showcase, entitled, "L'Union Fait La Force," or "Strength Through Unity" will feature musical, dance and spoken word acts from all over Boston, with a goal of raising $10,000 through donations collected at the door. All proceeds will go to
Partners In Health
http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti
a Boston based organization that has been working on the ground in Haiti for over 20 years, bringing modern medical care to underdeveloped communities.
Showtime is 7:00 PM, January 29 at the Kresge Auditorium (bldg W16 on the MIT Campus Map).
Even if you can't make it to the Showcase, donations can be made directly to the MIT
Haiti Relief Fund (search for fund #4014346)
https://giving.mit.edu/givenow/GiftStart.dyn
which has been established to "support the work of MIT students, faculty, and staff in Haiti following the earthquake of January 2010."
