Heaven Media is asking you to donate to the Haiti Earthquake Appeal.
A major earthquake struck Haiti on 12 January just ten miles from the capital city of Port-au-Prince.
As many as 200,000 people are believed to be dead, and it is still too early to know the full human cost of this tragedy.
We have set up a page for donations to Oxfam's efforts through
JustGiving.com, a UK-based organisation which facilitates donations to a number of charities, and with a target of £500 set, secretly we'll be disappointed if we can't hit four-digits.
We believe that the decision to help should be an easy one, but in case you needed a little extra persuasion, here it is: Adam Godfrey, our very own Business Developement Manager at Heaven Media and of course the Reason Gaming manager/owner, has agreed that if we hit the £500, he will allow himself to be tied up at Multiplay's i39 event, for the community to chuck wet sponges at him!
Oh, and as an added incentive, if we can double our target, and hit £1,000... he'll do it wearing only his underwear. Who said that helping your fellow human beings couldn't have a second (albeit very minor) purpose?
Keep an eye out later in the week for another announcement to help spur on donations - we think we've got a real cracker in store for you.
No matter how much or how little you feel you can afford, do your part now, even the smallest of donations will help.
If you like, why not reply in the comments below telling us that you donated and if you are feeling brave and want to shame the others, let us know what you donated ;)
Really sad news about Haiti, I really hope we can raise some money for them to rebuild whats left of their lifes.
Let's give those guys something to smile about
gj setting this up dfb
Haiti attending WCG next year?
Regardless, will cough something up!

Look at our taxes,they take so much off us and what happens to it? Oh yeah thats right, given to immigrants who abuse the system. They got themselves into debt, why should we bail them out for their stupid mistakes?
I would rather burn all my money than give it to this country

Naw seriously, the images I've seen so far are near apocalyptic..
Money don't grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain't nothing in this world for free.
I know we can't slow down,
We can't hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain't no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good"

i really hate charity... too much money falls into the wrong hands. if i donate anything (and ive done this before) ill buy something or make sure my money ACTUALLY GOES ON WHAT ITS INTENDED TO.
even the money we give to cancer foundations gets spent elsewhere, ive heard high estimates, but id say a conservative guess is about 30% a lot of the time.
makes me sick.
