LAS VEGAS – When Todd Koren, president of Absolute Exhibits in Las Vegas, saw a story in the local news about churches in the city collecting donated items and water for the Haiti earthquake relief effort, he was moved to help.

 

The Eglise Messianique de la Grace Community church that resides at the First Baptist Church in Las Vegas, headed by Pastor Amors Prophete, and  led by the president of the Haitian Disaster Relief Community, Ken Son Desinov, had collected over two tons of supplies for victims in Haiti, but had no way to move the donations to Miami, where the materials could be ferried to Port Au Prince, Haiti.

Koren arranged for Tim Brennan of GE Trailer Leasing to donate two trailers and a tractor that would be driven twice round trip to Miami to deliver the goods. Absolute Exhibits then donated a team of Teamster drivers to make the two roundtrips. Koren also phoned one of his closest friends in Las Vegas, Kevin Kelly of Kelly & Sullivan, Ltd., a criminal law attorney and humanitarian. Kelly offered to help and would underwrite any further expenses for the trip.

 

This community effort only came together after the logistics were worked out by Absolute Exhibits (www.absoluteexhibits.com).
