MMAWarehouse.com Fights Back For Haiti

MMAWarehouse.com has teamed up with Mercy Corps to help aid victims of the Haiti Earthquake.

A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck near Haiti's capital of Port-au-Prince Tuesday afternoon, collapsing buildings, including at least one hospital. The quake affected roughly one in three Haitians: about 3 million people. Anywhere between 30,000 and 100,000 are feared dead and even more are injured in the largest quake to strike the impoverished Caribbean nation in 200 years. Power is out, telecommunications are spotty and food and water are reportedly growing scarce.

MMAWarehouse.com is pledging a dollar for dollar match up to the first $5,000 donated here and additionally will donate a portion of our sales now through Thursday, January 21st. Update: $1916 was raised in the direct donations and matched by MMAWarehouse.com. And additional $3773.17 was raised from proceeds of sales throughout the week. In just one week we were able to raise over $7,500 and we consider that to be a big success! Thank you again to those of you that contributed and we'll be leaving our donation page up here for the rest of the month for any future donations.
