Raffle Closed, Winners to be Announced Tonight

alexpolotsky — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 15:50:05 +0000

Folks,

We’ve reached the end of our raffle and ended up with a grand total of $6410 in reported donations to aid organizations working in Haiti.

I want to personally thank every person that took the time to donate their hard earned money to help people in need. If you’ve been following the news, you’ll know that there is still no end to the need for donations and funds for the people of Haiti. People are still dying on the ground from injuries sustained during the earthquake and subsequent aftershocks and the need for housing now looms large with an estimated 1 million people left homeless.

Our winners have been chosen and will be contacted tonight. Check back again to see who won what and remember that you can still make a difference by donating to any organization that is working to further humanitarian causes in Haiti and beyond.

–Alex
