The treasurer of the young leaders group Bjorn Bullock also handed over a total of $1180 to Marksman. The money was also collected from the students of the school. Marksman, in accepting the contributions, thanked the young leaders for their generous contribution and encouraged them to continue to keep the people of Haiti in their thoughts and in their prayers.

They pointed out that they are partnering with the school’s band to stage a massive concert in order to raise more funds for the people of Haiti.
