NEW YORK
The two-hour telethon aired Friday night on the major networks
and dozens of other channels, including MTV, Bravo, and PBS, and
was also streamed live online. Stars like Brad Pitt, Beyonce,
Madonna, Bruce Springsteen and more used their presence to
encourage donations for Haiti, following a Jan. 12 earthquake that
killed an estimated 200,000 people.
A statement released Saturday said the money raised was a
record. It does not include donations by corporations or via
iTunes, where people are able to buy performances of the event for
99 cents.
People can still donate via text, phone or through the "Hope
for Haiti" Web site.
