Members of the St. Thomas sport and commercial fishing community will wear their hearts on their sleeves with a Valentine’s Day event at Hull Bay to raise funds for the victims of the recent earthquake in Haiti.

A donation of $10 buys admission to the performance plus a T-shirt.
All of the proceeds will go to the Haitian Relief Fund set up and administered by the Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, according to the event organizers.
Performers will include Sun King, Oleik Ledee and George Berry, The Mountaineers, Mighty Whitey, Becca & So High So Low, and Obsession.
