CORRECTION: Cuban Revolution will donate $5 per person making a donation of $5 or more.

This just in: Cuban Revolution Restaurant in Durham will be MATCHING ALL DONATIONS collected tonight for Haiti at the weekly salsa party. This is a no cover party, 9 pm - 1 am, so all your money goes to fund earthquake relief.

Good excuse to come out and dance, and make your donation count a little extra. If you can't make it tonight, consider donating at one of the links below.
