Furthering the efforts to raise money for Haiti following the recent earthquake the country experienced, First Lady Michelle Obama appears in an America Red Cross PSA asking American to donate.

“I was eager to join the Ad Council and the Red Cross to launch this call to action in the wake of this week’s devastating earthquake,” said First Lady Michelle Obama. “The people of Haiti are struggling just to survive. And every one of us has the power to help.”

The PSAs encourage audiences to go to www.redcross.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS. On cell phones, viewers can text “HAITI” to 9-0-9-9-9 and $10 will be given automatically to the American Red Cross.

We’ve done it. Have you?

ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC Television Networks, Clear Channel Communications, Comcast, CNN, Headline News, TBS, TNT, TruTV, Cartoon Network, Sundance Channel, IFC, Tribune Television Stations, Discovery Networks, Hallmark Channel, Lifetime Networks, Fox Networks Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group will all donate airtime for the PSAs.
