Miami is reaching out to Haiti with a host of fundraisers and donation centers to help the small island nation recover from the devastating earthquake.

Julian and Kymani Marley, sons of reggae star Bob, will be headlining the "Miami for Haiti" concert tonight in the Wynwood.

The two will be performing at 7 p.m. Cafeina Lounge, with a $20 minimum donation at the door. All proceeds and donations will be split between the Project Medishare for Haiti and the Carma Foundation. In addition, concert goers can bring any non-perishable items to the show, as well as blankets and clothing.

Artist Melky Jean will also be performing at Cafeina, which is located at 297 NW 23rd Street in Miami.
