Tampa Bay, FL, January 22, 2010 – TraderPlanet.com, a social-networking site for traders and investors, announced today that it will accept donation pledges from its members for the Haitian Relief Effort. Members may pledge any amount they wish, with 100% of the donations that UNICEF receives via their web site going directly to ease the suffering of children and their families affected by the earthquake.
Those who register a donation pledge at www.TraderPlanet.com/donate will be entered into a raffle with a chance to win one of many trading-related products and services, such as software, trading courses, books, and price data, all freely donated by TraderPlanet supporters, such as Market Technologies, The Van Tharp Institute, Robert Hoffman, INO, Jim Wyckoff, CSI Data and the Bellamy Brothers.
“This tragic event demands everyone’s immediate attention,” says Lane J. Mendelsohn, Founder and President of TraderPlanet.com. “The images and reports coming out of Haiti on how the children are suffering while waiting for care really tugs at the heartstrings. Our community has family and friends in Haiti. Supporting a cause like this is central to our organization’s core objectives – helping humanity to live better lives both financially and otherwise. ”
