"Gaia Online Users Rally To Raise Money for Earthquake Survivors
Online Community Matches Red Cross Donations to Support Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort

San Jose, Calif. (PRWEB) January 15, 2010 -- In response to the tremendous devastation caused by the earthquake that struck Haiti earlier this week, members of Gaia Online, the world's most active online community of more than nine million teens and young adults, have taken to the site's forums and message boards to discuss the tragedy. Gaians are online sharing their concern for the victims and learning of ways they can support the relief efforts.

In support of the victims in Haiti, Gaia Online is matching donations to the Red Cross relief and development efforts up to $10,000. To make a Gaia Online matched donation, visit the Red Cross Website at American Red Cross, click on "Donate Now," and select "Haiti Relief and Development." When completing the donation form, type Gaia Online in the field titled "Company/Organization Name." Supporters do not need to be a Gaia Online member to make a matched donation.

"We are inspired by our member's overwhelming compassion for the victims of this disaster who have lost loved ones, their homes and access to basic necessities," said Craig Sherman, CEO of Gaia Online. "This is a great example of how a virtual effort can make an impact in the real world, and our team is pleased to be able to match our users' generous donations."

In addition to matching donations, the online hangout has created a dedicated online forum to serve as a destination for members to coordinate support and donation efforts.

That ass in your signature makes me stare.

Anyway, $1000 is nice. They could donate more since they have people donating to them every single day.
#8
its just publicity and lanzers attempt at redemption lol. >.< they are "greedy" and i bet they will ask for something in return once haiti has recovered lol
#9
With this scheme, they make no profit off of it, but its the classic redemption scheme. "Oh look, we are donating to a charity, you should support US even more!!!"

Offtopic : Suske... Dat ASS.
#10
Obviously a PR ploy.
#11
Well i think they are really donating to Haiti and $1000 isnt much for me ;[ plus they have allot to their Gaia cash funding they should be able to donate over 2 thousand dollars.

um gaia could donate much more than 2 thousand


about the haiti flp:that is so ethically screwed up.....but so worth it at the same time. i would pay for a haiti flp

Don't call Gaia greedy. Gaia is just as greedy, if not even less greedy than many others.

Myspace for example puts all those apps like mobsters, and has exclusive items only for purchase as opposed to Gaia where you can buy a cash shop item in the marketplace from somebody who got it.

I don't understand why you all complain about gaia and sit down for laborious ours trying to get accounts. If you're really upset, go hack the whole website, not users.

I find donating to Haiti quite a good deed, taking into consideration they're simply an infamous online game.

Red Cross relief and development efforts up to $10,000

10 grand.
It's still nothing for them.
Maybe 50 grand, then we'll talk Gaia. <3

I agree with Gina...
I think Gaia is just using one of it's ways to promote people into buying Gaia cash.
#17
Gaia is, and always will be, greedy, just like most businesses.
