The shocking earthquake in Haiti feared to have killed thousands of people, and through this and most of us think that we like to help in some way. Several online poker sites supports haiti earthquake including PokerStars which has been quick to facilitate this after previous disasters, and once again it is giving you an easy way to donate cash. Calvin Ayre, founder of Bodog has issued a personal challenge to the only gaming industry as stated in his website. He mentioned in his blogs that his foundation will make an inital donation of £10,000 to a charitable organization that deals with natural disaster known as the U.K.

The devastation is dreadful and things will only get worse unless funds can be directed appropriately to ensure that an already over-worked sub-standard hospital system can cope with an overload of casualties, and that a re-building effort can get underway so that Haiti’s problems are not further compounded by unemployment, homelessness and lawlessness. It would take an icy heart not to be moved by the soul destroying stories and images of devastation coming out of Haiti after it was rocked by a massive earthquake last month. Luckily, Crazy Poker is no exception and many of the big names in the poker industry have joined athletes, movie stars, and major business players in helping to raise funds and awareness for the plight of one of the poorest nations in the world.
According to Crazy Poker brand manager and corporate spokesperson Trevor Penn said, “Haiti earthquake disaster "has completely devastated this impoverished Caribbean island, claiming the lives of thousands of human beings, with thousands more feared missing, and millions sustaining grave wounds, loss of private property, and in dire need of emergency medical facilities and basic amenities such as food, water and shelter. We at Crazy Poker recognize our ability to contribute to the relief effort and seek to attract as many players to buy-in as a form of donation to assist in this terrible and unfortunate disaster. The more players buy-in to the tournament, the more we can contribute towards the relief program, by contributing the full 10.00 fee to the cause."

The Help for Haiti Poker Tournament eventuated on 22 January 2010 that included $ 1,500.00 in adjoined wealth and an supplemental $ 1,500.00 which is earmarked for donation to the “Haitian Health Foundation”, who will accept all finance accumulated to assist in the Haiti calamity support effort. The buy-in is 10 +10, with the every part of 10 payment being bestowed to the Haitians Health Foundation. The Haitian Health Foundation is a charitable governing body that has been toiling to give support the poor and unwell in Haiti since 1982 and have been very energetic in augmenting their finance and supplies in assist of the Haiti calamity support program.
