GIS to accept donations for Haiti relief efforts, San Diego Food Bank
Given the recent events in Haiti, the Golf Industry Show associations will be partnering with the Red Cross to secure monetary donations for Haiti relief efforts.

The Toro Co. will be sponsoring the efforts and matching attendee donations. On-site bins will be available in secured locations throughout the convention center to accept donations for both the Haiti relief efforts and the San Diego Food Bank.

Concession outlets will be available for you to purchase coffee and continental breakfast fare.
