888 Turns Ten and Hosts Charity Day
|
October 5 - What better way to celebrate a birthday then to make a gift to
charity as popular online gambling destination, 888, did this week to celebrate
its 10th birthday and thriving for a decade in the super-competitive online
gambling arena.
888, which owns and operates the highly successful gambling websites, Pacific
Poker and Casino on Net, hosted a 'charity day' on its birthday this week
(Wednesday October 10th 2007) where it pledged $100 000 to two worthy charities.
On the day over and above 888's $100 000, registered players on both websites were given the opportunity to pledge a percentage of their playing funds to
either World for World or Earth Action, charities that both strive to help solve
global developmental issues.
World for World is an Italian-based non-profit organization with over 1900
citizen groups in 160 countries aimed at increasing public awareness about
global concerns, while Earth Action encourages its members to pressurize their
governments and industry to address global issues.
Said 888 marketing director, Matt Robinson, 'This was 888's first global charity
day and we are both proud and delighted to have the opportunity via Pacific
Poker and Casino on Net to raise money for such worthy and important global
causes.'
