PLEX for GOOD: Nepal Earthquake Relief - Update & Extension (http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/plex-for-good-nepal-earthquake-relief-update-extension/)
12 May 2015, 11:55 am After hearing news of the devastating earthquake that rocked Nepal and the surrounding regions on April 25
th, the EVE Community banded together in support, and once again called for CCP Games to host PLEX for GOOD.
On May 1
st CCP launched a PLEX for GOOD drive (http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/plex-for-good-nepal/) in association with the Icelandic Red Cross (http://www.raudikrossinn.is/) in order to raise relief funds for those affected by the tremendously powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake that caused widespread destruction across the region.
Fundraising is proving to be very successful in Iceland, with many companies across the country donating to relief organizations (http://icelandreview.com/news/2015/04/29/funds-raised-nepal-quake-victims) in order to assist.
So far, the results of PLEX for GOOD have been outstanding, and the current total stands as follows:
This morning, we heard that there has been another sizable earthquake close to Mount Everest (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-32701385) measuring 7.3, which has caused further damage and loss of life, along with further complications to rescue efforts.
We have been in direct contact with the Icelandic Red Cross again this morning, and have mutually agreed to extend the PLEX for GOOD drive through until 23:59:59 on Sunday May 24
th 2015, adding a further nine days to the donation drive in order to raise additional funds.
The original announcement Dev Blog (http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/plex-for-good-nepal/) has had an addition made to it in order to reflect this change, and offer our most sincere thanks to the EVE Community for the amazing level of support show for PLEX for GOOD so far.
