Maple Donates 50,000 Yen to Japanese Earthquake Victims
50,000 Yen donated to Japanese earthquake victims after the disaster.

March 17, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Maple Online Casino has generously donated 50,000 Yen to assist Japanese earthquake and tsunami survivors in the wake of the disaster that tore through the land and left devastation in its path.

An earthquake with an 8.9 magnitude rocked Japan to its core on Friday the 11th of March, 2011. The tremors from the earthquake awakened the waters of the Pacific Ocean, unleashing the fury of the 23-foot high tsunami over the already traumatized land. The devastating earthquake occurred near Honshu on the eastern coast of Japan, and the tsunami that followed in its wake ravaged the terrain, leaving nothing of the once proud land, below the mass of the waters.

Japan came to a standstill on the morning of the 11th in the wake of the earthquake, and they stood by terror-stricken as the arms of the waves reached around their country and stretched across the surface of the planet. Life-saving evacuations were needed as far afield as Chile. The devastation that Mother Nature has unleashed has wreaked havoc across the globe.

Charlotte Jackson, Casino Manager at the Canadian-themed Online Casino, expressed the shock and condolences of employees at the casino. "When we heard that Japan had been struck by an earthquake, we did not expect this to be followed by a second disaster, namely the tsunami. There is untold horror, pain, suffering and immense losses in a multitude of facets that the Japanese people now have to deal with. The magnitude of life that has been lost is tragic, and many of the earthquake and tsunami victims also have loved ones to mourn.

"With this in mind, we feel it is our duty to make a donation to the Japanese Red Cross Society, which we hope will benefit the victims of this disaster. We firmly believe that when these tragedies strike, it is important for businesses to step up to the plate and assist in any way possible. We have donated 50,000 to assist with relief efforts and we extend a challenge to other organizations to make a contribution to assist the victims who are struggling in these heartbreaking times."

The Japanese Red Cross Society is an organization that is currently collecting funds to assist those affected by the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. You can find out more about the donations and the Japanese Red Cross Society at http://www.maplecasino.ca/maple-casino-donates-to-japan.asp
