Also at the party: food and drinks, psychics, and tarot card readings. Admission is a $10 suggested donation. For more info, contact Haring at 847-533-5959 or via e-mail.
Tonight from 7 to 10 PM, Studio Within Salon/Spa hosts "Go Within to Give to Those Without" — a fashion show and benefit for the American Red Cross's Haiti relief efforts — at Architectural Artifacts (4325 N. Ravenswood). The event includes a cocktail hour with passed food and a silent auction, and a free Studio Within haircut. Tickets are available here.
All proceeds from Theori Media's Fri 2/26 performance of Wendell J. Tucker's "sociological musical" I Still Love H.E.R. (atributetohiphop) will benefit Haiti relief work undertaken by Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti. Described by Laura Molzahn as an "unguided tour of hip-hop music and dance," the show runs through 3/27 at the Chicago Center for Performing Arts (777 N. Green). Tickets are $20-$25 and can be purchased here; Friday's show time is 8 PM.

The designers of this Threadless T-shirt (which reads "Men anpil chay pa lou," a Haitian proverb that means "Many hands make the load lighter") are donating all proceeds to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund. As of January 25, they'd collected $70,000; men's, women's, and kids' sizes are still available.
