Microgaming Poker Network Offers Haiti Relief

Corporate social responsibility is something that the Microgaming Poker Network takes seriously. With the dire consequences of Haiti's cataclysmic earthquake, millions of people have had their lives torn apart.

Now Microgaming Poker Network, in conjunction with its band of online players, is opening their hearts and their pockets to the people of Haiti. Come January 22, the relief effort will be in full swing.

Microgaming poker rooms such as Cool Hand Poker will be running the charitable poker relief effort. The €10 players' contribution will be donated to the Haitian Health Foundation. And the Microgaming Poker Network will match all funds raised from the tournament.

Cool Hand Poker leads the way
The sheer devastation of Haiti's earthquake has left the entire island nation crippled -without food, water or basic amenities. The country is among the poorest in the world and charity is the only way of bringing hope to the survivors. The online poker tournament is a widespread initiative aimed at easing the immense financial burden of reconstruction that has befallen Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas.

Players at Cool Hand Poker are able to register for the poker tournament which begins on 22 January 2010 at 6:30PM GMT. All funds received will be urgently donated to the Haitian Health Foundation. This organization has a proven track record in assisting the impoverished people of Haiti, with over 92% of all funds collected being received by those most in need.
