Park Ridge, Ill.-based The Million Dollar Round Table Foundation Haiti Disaster Relief Fund presented a second grant for $93,000 on Aug. 19, through global charity Mercy Ships, Garden Valley, Texas. MDRT members and industry partners donated the funds to support Haitians following the devastating earthquake earlier this year.

“The need for medical care in Haiti following the earthquake has been immense and will exist for years,” said Sally W. Munford, MSFS, CLU, Foundation immediate past president. “Mercy Ships has teams in Haiti on a regular basis to provide health care and help rebuild the country’s medical infrastructure.”

Munford presented the check to Virginia Lind, LUTCF, ChFC, a 15-year MDRT member who has been involved with Mercy Ships since 2003. Lind is shown at left in the image.

Previously, MDRT presented a grant to Heifer International, Little Rock, Ark., in July.
