My friend Cliff Landis – Technology Librarian at Valdosta State University – pledged to match donations to Partners in Health (one of the many organizations offering relief to those affected by the earthquake in Haiti) up to $10,000. People donated. People donated over $10,000 in three days. Cliff’s “thank you” video has left me in tears, and I wanted to share it with you. I feel honored to know someone as big-hearted as Cliff, and I hope you will have the good fortune to meet him, too. We are all blessed to have Cliff in our profession.

We were inspired by Cliff’s idea and have set up another matching fund for Partners in Health. Cliff’s $10k will end up translating into an additional $25k for PIH.
The Firland Foundation will match up to $25,000 in donations made to PIH before Feb 28th. Donations should be made directly to PIH:
