The ATLANTA, February 01, 2010 - The Georgia State volleyball team spent Thursday afternoon helping to raise money and awareness to go to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti earlier this week. In just over 90 minutes, the team raised $963 on the campus library plaza.

Support from around the world is heading into the nation with every little bit being needed as quickly as possible.

"I was overwhelmed by the amount of giving there was on campus today," commented assistant coach Ada Bazin. "I wasn't sure what to expect when we started collecting donations.
