Spokane in brief: Event to benefit Haiti orphanage

EAST CENTRAL – Kids Sports, 416 N. Madelia St., will have a fundraiser full of music, dancing and fun Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to benefit God’s Littlest Angels orphanage in Haiti.

The orphanage, located outside of Petionville, Haiti, sustained minimal damage in the Jan. 12 earthquake that has left much of Haiti in ruins. God’s Littlest Angels is in need of supplies and support as they prepare to take in children orphaned or injured from the disaster.

Cost for the children’s event is a $5 donation per child. All proceeds will benefit the orphanage.
