Helping China’s earthquake victims
One of my friends at work was telling me that he found out that a backgammon website that he likes to visit every evening is holding a terrific campaign to help the victim’s of China’s recent earthquake. The BackgammonMasters Online BlackJack, Poker and Backgammon Operator is planning to aid the victims of the earthquake by donating money raised through a special program they are running this month. The Backgammon Masters runs online backgammon games that lots of people enjoy playing. For every $1 that a backgammon player spends on their game, the Backgammon Masters will donate $5 to the UNICEF program that is set up to help the children victims of the China earthquake.
This program was inspired by another gaming organization offering to match dollar-for-dollar spending of their players; the Backgammon Masters thought it was a great idea and felt that they could afford to match the donations with a higher matching amount.
A lot of the clientele of the Backgammon Masters business comes from the areas affected by the earthquakes, and the company felt it was appropriate to give back to the community by helping when and where it could with money for relief efforts. It’s nice to know that some companies DO have a good heart!
