Hurricane Relief, what you can do - Xpost from General Forum
Hey Mid-High,
I don't post here much - I'm almost exclusively a HUSHer. But this is something that I was hoping you guys might be interested in. I've been talking with my college roomate who had just begun attending Tulane Law School in New Orleans. He was lucky, and was able to evacuate before the hurricane hit, but there were literally thousands of people who were stuck in the city when the dam broke and the city flooded. Additionally, the coast of Mississippi has literally been devastated as well. I wish there was something I could do - but I'm in NY and donating my time is impossible. Also, sending materials is expensive and inefficient. So, in the spirit of this thread , I played 1 extra hour of poker for the month of august, and I'm donating that hour's potential earn to the American Red Cross's Hurricane Relief Fund. Donating is easy - I hooked up my Neteller account to my checking account, so I cash out the 1 hour's worth of $ into my checking account, and use my bank card to donate it online through the Red Cross's secure donation online form. According to the "Session Notes" Tab of pokertracker, my hourly earn for august was $185.84, so $186 is going to the Red Cross for the month of August. I would encourage you to do the same. If you don't wish to give to the red cross, give to another charity of your choice - most of them have an online method for depositing funds. Hopefully we can get a group of players together and make this a monthly thing, donating to whichever need is most pressing. I realize that individually it will not be much, but, like preflop mistakes - a little in abundance makes alot. Thanks, Surf |
