FTR and PokerStars Haiti Relief Donation Drive

As reported here, PokerStars is appealing to its players to donate to the Haiti earthquake relief effort and will match all donations made via PokerStars through the end of this month. We here at FlopTurnRiver.com would like to help further by directly encouraging our forum community, who have proven to be generous and caring people in the past, to donate to this very worthy cause. As set up by PokerStars, all funds will go to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to help Haiti recover from this devastating disaster.

Please participate in this donation drive by making a private player transfer to the account Haiti Fund via your PokerStars Lobby. Go to Requests in the client top menu and select Transfer Funds. Any amount, no matter how great or small, will help more than you know.

Post the confirmation of your transfer here showing the amount you've donated by end-of-day Friday, January 29; you may omit your player name if you wish. Then, before PokerStars' deadline of January 31, FlopTurnRiver.com will match a percentage of the total donated by our community and also donate. With PokerStars matching not only your private donation but also FTR's donation, this means the total donated would be up to 400% of your collective contribution!

Donate now and get involved! There are thousands of people in Haiti that need our immediate assistance.

This is a great idea. A 400% match on our donation is sick. This basically means that a small $10 donation on our part becomes $40 for the Haitian people. I'm sure $40 goes a long way in buying food and medical supplies to the Haitians.

I donated $16 as soon as I read this post by Xianti. I didn't get a confirmation email from PokerStars, but hopefully this will do:


If I end up getting a confirmation email from PokerStars, I will post that as well.

Everyone can donate something. Even if it's "only" $5, that'll become $20 with this excellent donation drive.

Edit:

Hello ,

We have transferred USD 16.00 from your account to 'Haiti Fund' as per your request.


Good luck to you both.

PokerStars Cashier

Sure, okay.

With your help, our 100% match and PokerStars' equal matches, we have collectively donated $1,944 to the Haiti relief effort.

Thank you to all those that contributed.

I know I'm late on this guys since it does state that you guys are matching until Jan 29th. If anyway you can still match this donation, would be awesome. Thanks.
