Haiti Fundraiser at PokerStars

All eyes (until Sunday for Vikes fans) are currently on the tragic situation after the earthquake in Haiti.  For you online players, PokerStars has come up with a fun way to make a donation towards the cause.  Read the press release shown below:

Dear all

PokerStars.com and PokerStars.net players are offering their help to the
people of the Earthquake-ravaged Caribbean nation of Haiti. Tens of
thousands of people are feared dead and up to three million affected by
the huge tremor. Please promote this appeal as soon as possible.
Players can donate in two ways and all donations will be matched by
PokerStars and donated to the Red Cross.

Players can either

a)    Transfer to the account “Haiti Fund” using the Transfer Funds tool
under Requests menu.

Or…

b)    Players can enter one of the dummy tournaments located under
Tourney > Special called “Haiti Earthquake Relief”. Please note these are
not real tournaments, just a means for players to donate and publicly show
their efforts for the relief efforts. Players can enter the “tournaments”
for amounts ranging from $1 to $1,000.

At the time of writing this, thousands have already donated. Among those
who have donated the maximum include Team PokerStars Online player
Anders “Donald” Berg and American pro Steve Silverman.

Best wishes,

Ally Hendry
