AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hope4MentalHealth.org made its debut in Park City, Utah as a sponsor of the "Tweet House" presented by Smashbox Studios during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival™. A multi tiered event that showcased Twitter's global influence in entertainment, Hope4MentalHealth.org shined as conference goers enjoyed its high end bottled water, and with its participation in the Celebrity TweetUp For Haiti, a charitable component of the event in which celebrities sent out live "tweets" to raise funds to aid Haiti.

"This is a charity that came here to get assistance and they are donating one half of it back to Haiti," said Burton.  

"We are extremely grateful to Nvaleo for their contribution," said Huxford. "We need the support of everyone here today, but Haiti needs all of us now. I hope that at some point, Hope4MentalHealth.org will be able to do even more by helping to provide mental health assistance to some of the children of Haiti who have endured this terrible disaster," he said. Jeff Ritchie of Nvaleo presented the $2000 donation to Hope4MentalHealth.org.
