Last year’s game drew thousands of fans to Harvard Stadium and raised $16,000.
The event begins at 3 p.m. in the Fan Zone where members of the Haitian National team will be signing autographs. Enjoy live Haitian music by singer-songwriter Wanito, and talk to PIH staff about its ongoing work. Kickoff is at 5 p,m.
Admission is $10 and can be purchased at the game or in advance at the Harvard Box Office.
