PokerStars is collecting donations to help provide relief to the millions of people affected by the tsunami and earthquake in south asia and east africa. They will match all donations by 100% and submit the money to the International Federation of Red Cross.
Register for Our "Donation Tournament"
You can give by registering for our special "Donation Tournament." Simply click "Tourney" then "Special" in your game lobby. You may then choose to register for $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 or $100, the amount your register for constitutes your donation amount and will then be matched by PokerStars.
Another opportunity to make a donation is to participate in the Grannymae tournament by clicking "Tourney" then "Private" and looking for "Zoo Tsunami Relief." Half of the overall prize pool from this event will be donated directly to the Red Cross.
Make a Direct Donation Transfer
You may also choose to donate by selecting the "Requests" link at the top left corner of your game lobby. Choose "Transfer funds…" and enter the amount your wish to donate along with the Player ID "ReliefEffort." Your donation amount will then be matched by PokerStars before being given to the International Foundation of Red Cross.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and donations during this tragic time. With your help, PokerStars and the International Foundation of Red Cross can make a difference.
Tsunami Fund Raising Efforts at the Atlantis
PokerStars will also be hanging a large banner during this year's PCA encouraging players to pledge a percentage of their winnings to the relief efforts. Once the PCA tournament is over PokerStars will match the amount pledged by the players dollar for dollar and donate the funds to the International Federation of Red Cross.
The official death toll passed 123,000 today, and over 5 million are homeless.
