Calvin Ayre has sent a very personal message to the online gambling industry to help the earthquake victims in Haiti:

"It's a disaster in Haiti. I know they've had a tough go from Mother Nature recently, what with the hurricane and now this earthquake, but I cannot help but be disgusted with the ruling elite that have driven this country down like this while, no doubt, filling their own pockets. That being said, the innocents are, as always, the ones paying a horrendous price for this elite thievery and I think the global online gaming community has a duty to do something."

"I have asked my Foundation (The Calvin Ayre Foundation) to send £10,000 to U.K. based Oxfam (www.oxfam.org.uk) to aid in their Haiti relief efforts."

"But that's not all. I want to personally challenge the rest of the online gaming industry to contribute to Oxfam's Haiti relief efforts. My private foundation will match all donations made to Oxfam by an online gaming person totaling up to $1,000,000."

"In a situation like this, each of us has a duty to help. Let's do it!"

Kudos to Calvin Ayre for his monetary commitment to aid Haiti.
