"We are thrilled to host our friends from Haiti for a second-straight year," said Carl Junot, the Virginia B. and James O. Welch '52 Head Coach for Harvard Men's Soccer. "...We hope that this extended weekend of games will be a large benefit to Partners In Health."

The Haitian team is traveling to New England for a five-day benefit tour, with Haiti taking on Dartmouth on Friday April 20.

The events at both Dartmouth and Harvard will raise money to support Partners In Health and its relief efforts in Haiti, which is still recovering from a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck on Jan. 12, 2010. 

Last year's game against Haiti drew 11,513 fans to Harvard Stadium with an additional 1,900 viewers watching online in a dual-language broadcast in both English and Creole. The teams played to a 0-0 tie and decided to play an exhibition penalty kick session with the Haitians emerging victorious. 

After the game, Harvard Athletics, the Friends of Harvard Soccer, and the Ted Ashford Foundation made a total donation of $16,000. Harvard also teamed with Dartmouth to cover all expenses and travel costs for the Haitian team during its trip to the United States.
