Dear Celtics fans,

The Toronto Raptors RealGM Board has banded together and is challenging each other to donate money for Haiti, we have raised over $1,500 as of this morning. We'd like to invite you to join us in helping Haiti or challenge you to start your own Haiti thread.

You can find the Raptors Haiti thread here...viewtopic.php?f=32&t=976950&start=0

Donating 25 dollars to save the children. Not much but, it's better than spending it on junk.

Put me down as donating $100.

I donated $100 to doctors without borders yesterday since nearly all of their hospitals were destroyed.

Another great place to donate is Partners in Health who have been operating in Haiti for years and have an excellent record of low administrative costs and with the loss of the major hospitals in Port of Prince may be the largest network of clinics left in the country.

Also, you can text a 10 dollar donation by calling 90999 and typing in "Haiti".

Per my other Haiti thread, here are some suggestions:

Re TEXTING, one thing you should keep in mind is that often the money won't get there until you pay your phone bill, since often the billing is done to your phone company and they're not going to front the money for you.
