Jen El-Haddad, who created the fundraising effort, said her family was directly affected and several family members are still hospitalized.
In the past month, they hosted a series of fundraising events, partnered with SOL Southwest Kitchen in Mt Pleasant and NOSH Cafe & Wine Bar in West Ashley, and put on three 45-minute workouts called "Be Fit for Beirut," where almost 60 participants attended. They've raised almost $7,000 for relief funds in less than a month. The group's upcoming events include partnerships with Palmetto Brewing Co. and Workshop. To see a list of upcoming events, visit the Charleston for Beirut Facebook or Instagram accounts.
All of the funds are supporting the Lebanese Red Cross and Live love: Rebuild Beirut, which is working to rebuild the destruction of all the homes affected. You can donate directing to Charleston for Beirut on their GoFundMe page.
