<p>It has been reported that Lady Gaga raised more than $500,000 for Haiti relief on Sunday night at her show in New York. On her final U.S. tour date on the first leg of the Monster Ball Tour, the singer announced Tuesday that her “Gaga for Haiti” day on Sunday netted half a million dollars for relief efforts in Haiti.</p><p>“On ‘Gaga for Haiti’ day, in just 24 hours, with very minimal marketing and planning, all the little monsters all over the world made over half a million dollars for Haiti relief,” she said in the middle of the song “Speechless” during a show on Tuesday night at Purdue University. The gig was a makeup date for a show she canceled earlier this month due to exhaustion. “I know [merchandise firm] Bravado fell off their chair. … They couldn’t believe it. So let’s sing along for Haiti right now so that they can hear us.”</p><p>Gaga’s label could not confirm the figures as of press time, and it wasn’t clear if the figure she quoted from stage also included sales of her special limited-edition Haiti T-shirt. Either way it’s a win-win! Let’s keep it going!</p><p>Wyclef Jean’s Yéle Haiti Foundationor text “yele” to 501501 from your cell to automatically donate $5 to the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund (charged to your bill) • Doctors Without Borders • American Red Cross • International Committee of the Red Cross • Partners in Health • UNICEF • Christian Veterinary Mission • Charity: Water • Pan American Health and Education Foundation • Population Services International</p><p>Wyclef Jean’s Yéle Haiti Foundationor text “yele” to 501501 from your cell to automatically donate $5 to the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund (charged to your bill)</p>
