    [extraordinary circumstances] for my friend David. He is an avid
    skydiver,
    and had a terrible accident a little while ago. Here is the link [
    http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=16687 ] He broke
    his
    femur on impact with the ground. He also has no insurance to cover the
    massive hospital bills. Since the accident, all players in our
    community
    [FlopTurnRiver] have been trying to raise as much money as possible for
    him. I hope by telling you these extraordinary circumstances you can
    understand where I am coming from with this.

    I'm sure you guys can do something much like you did with the Hurricane
    Katrina donations (0.01 entry with 19.99 rake) except I would like to
    request you make it a $20 entry with $30 rake [would pay like a $20
    freezout, you guys keep $5 of the rake (so you still make your normal
    profit) and the rest of the rake ($25) would be tallied up and donated
    to
    his PokerStars ID, which is 'B00NDOKSAINT' After the tournament by
    PokerStars staff.

    Response:

    Hello Chris,

    I am sorry but we are unable to offer the charity event you have
    requested. We receive many requests for this type of event and we just
    do
    not have the staff to manage them.

    Please extend to your friend our wishes for a speedy recovery.

    Regards,

    Henry
    PokerStars Tournament Administrator



    Sorry boon, im still gonna organize a private tourney though :P and its gonna be pretty high stakes ($50-ish) with 1/2 proceeds to you!

    I bet they would jump at the chance if you made it $20+$30 with $5 also going to stars. I doubt they have the software for that though.

    That sucks though but I can see why they cant do it.
