GAIA ONLINE USERS RALLY TO RAISE MONEY FOR EARTHQUAKE SURVIVORS

Online Community Matches Red Cross Donations to Support Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort

SAN JOSE, Calif. - January 15, 2010 - In response to the tremendous devastation caused by the earthquake that struck Haiti earlier this week, members of Gaia Online, the world's most active online community of more than nine million teens and young adults, have taken to the site's forums and message boards to discuss the tragedy. Gaians are online sharing their concern for the victims and learning of ways they can support the relief efforts.

In support of the victims in Haiti, Gaia Online is matching donations to the Red Cross relief and development efforts up to $10,000. To make a Gaia Online matched donation, visit the Red Cross Website at http://bit.ly/5h1EGN, click on "Donate Now," and select "Haiti Relief and Development." When completing the donation form, type Gaia Online in the field titled "Company/Organization Name." Supporters do not need to be a Gaia Online member to make a matched donation.

"We are inspired by our member's overwhelming compassion for the victims of this disaster who have lost loved ones, their homes and access to basic necessities," said Craig Sherman, CEO of Gaia Online. "This is a great example of how a virtual effort can make an impact in the real world, and our team is pleased to be able to match our users' generous donations."

In addition to matching donations, the online hangout has created a dedicated online forum to serve as a destination for members to coordinate support and donation efforts.
