On Feb. 23 in Charlotte, N.C., local businesses, Halogen and Project Go came together to share ways we can play a part in ending poverty and giving hope around the world.

The event, held at Chima Brazilian Steakhouse, raised over $5,000, which was donated to Project Go to help them fight poverty around the world by developing economic projects for people in need. Event T-shirts, raffle and fashion show were all part of the event, which Halogen filmed and is currently producing a short feature. If you’d like to donate to Project Go, donate online at Project Go World.
