About Doctors Without Borders, USA
Doctors Without Borders, USA (DWB-USA) was founded in 1990 in New York City to raise funds, create awareness, recruit field staff, and advocate with the United Nations and US government on humanitarian concerns. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization that provides aid in nearly 60 countries. In 2007, MSF-USA raised $152.1 million and sent 200 aid workers to work overseas.

MSF has been working in Haiti for 19 years, most recently operating three emergency hospitals in Port-au-Prince, and is mobilizing a large emergency response to this disaster. Our immediate response in the first hours following the disaster in Haiti was only possible because of private unrestricted donations from around the world received before the earthquake struck. We are currently reinforcing our teams on the ground in order to respond to the immediate medical needs and to assess the humanitarian needs that MSF will be addressing in the months ahead.

About The Naples Chamber Ensembles
Established in 1980, the members of Naples Chamber Ensembles are professional musicians who have accompanied performers including Yanni, Rod Stewart, Yo Yo Ma, Celine Dion, Il Diva and John Tesh. NCE has over 1,000 selections in their musical repertoire, from “Pachelbel’s Canon in D” to the Beatle’s “Eleanor Rigby”.
