FIX8 to Donate Download Revenues to China Earthquake Victims

 

FIX8, a division of Mobinex (News - Alert) Inc., a virtual communications technology company, today announced that it’ll donate 100 percent of tomorrow’s download revenues to aid China earthquake victims.

To support the effort, visit http://www.FIX8.com tomorrow, Friday, June 13th and purchase premium avatars and software packs, FIX8 officials say. All proceeds from tomorrow’s purchases will go to the Red Cross China Earthquake Relief Fund, company officials say.

 

“Mark your calendar, set a reminder, share with your friends, forward this release -- whatever it takes to get the word out so we have the most successful fundraising day as possible tomorrow,” said FIX8 Marketing Vice President Susan Nia.

China’s Sichuan Province was struck by a 7.0 magnitude earthquake on May 12. Since that time, rescuers have pulled 33,434 people from the rubble alive. In the last two weeks, however no additional rescues have been reported.

 

The death toll is currently 68,000 but has the potential to rise to 80,000 as hopes of finding more survivors wane. Fifteen million people are displaced by what is being called China’s largest disaster in decades.

 

“Our Shanghai Team, many with friends and family in Sichuan Province, has inspired us to join in relief efforts,” said FIX8’s chief executive officer, Linh Duy Tang. “We hope our customers will use their love of connectivity and sharing, to help get the word out and support our efforts, which honor the victims and People of China.”

FIX8’s homepage and YouTube (News - Alert) are featuring the China Quake Relief video. FIX8 encourages its customers to share the video with friends, family and colleagues to ensure the success of tomorrow’s fundraiser.
