Help Out Haiti by Texting “Haiti” to 90999

January 14th, 2010 · No Comments

You can send a $10 donation to the Red Cross by texting “Haiti” to 90999. You will be billed an extra $10 on your phone bill.

By giving up a one entertainment activity, you can save a life in Haiti.

$10 = one bottle of wine
$10 = 2 six packs of beer
$10 = a cover charge to your favorite music venue
$10 = 2 DVD rentals
$10 = one cocktail in a Scottsdale bar
$10 = 1 Pizza from Pizza Hut
$10 = one movie ticket
$10 = one snack and one beverage at the movies
$10 = 3 gallons of gas
$10 = one (modest) home cooked meal for two

You know you can afford it!

This is an effort backed by the U.S. State Department. Funds will go to support American Red Cross relief efforts in Haiti.

This is not a hoax – here’s the press release from the redcross website:
