Dear friends and poker players from all communities,

my country was recently hit by severe floods. Hundred thousands of people lost their homes, there are many casualties, estimated cost from disaster is already calculated to Billions of dollars!!!
It is very important to help these people in any way possible!!!

[Edited by TinoLaan]

If it is possible it would be nice to organize some fund raising tournaments and write to affiliate rooms to organize tournaments as well!

Thank You for Your support in these hard times for me and my country

edit: bank and paypal accounts on the picture are for Serbian people abroad to an organization that collects help and donations(NOT SURE IF IT'S 100% TRUSTWORTHY)! In the YouTube link below You can see a direct PayPal account to Serbian Goverment (THAT IS THE SAFEST WAY TO MAKE A DONATION)...

I'm following it closely. It's really incredible what happened and I hope the situation will gradually go back to normal.
I already made a donation and hopefully many good people will do the same.
Good luck!

Thanks guy for the support, keep spreading the word!!!

Unfortunately got a negative response from Stars support regarding organizing charity tournaments, but they said they informed their regional manager, to provide help from their side, so at least something good, hopefully. They also said we could organize home games and collect money that way, but there couldn't be nearly a good response as if they offered to organize it. :(
