MONTECRISTO RELIEF ORGANIZATION TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS

In response to the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti this week causing catastrophic damage, human suffering and loss of life, The Montecristo Relief Organization is immediately donating $25,000 to Food For the Poor, a group already on the ground in Haiti providing vital assistance. Food For the Poor is responding to this terrible tragedy by supplying desperately needed nonperishable food and water to the earthquake victims immediately and will continue to provide ongoing aid and relief for rebuilding efforts.

MONTECRISTO TO MATCH DONATIONS

In addition, the Montecristo Relief Organization will match dollar for dollar the first $125,000 in contributions made by Altadis U.S.A. employees, customers, consumers and vendors. If you would like to contribute and have your donation matched by the Montecristo Relief Organization, please send your check made payable to Food For the Poor to:

Montecristo Relief Organization, Haiti Earthquake Relief
c/o Altadis U.S.A.
PO Box 407179
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33340-7166

Help and support is needed immediately, so time is of the essence. The Montecristo Relief Organization will match funds donated by April 15th. We thank everyone in advance for joining us in this vital relief effort.

The Montecristo Relief Organization was established in 1999 by Altadis U.S.A. after several devastating hurricanes swept through the Caribbean killing thousands of people, injuring millions and causing unimaginable suffering. Since its inception the Montecristo Relief Organization has donated millions of dollars to build homes, schools, medical facilities and provide scholarships and economic opportunities to victims of natural disasters in the Caribbean and the United States.

We have a wide variety this year, all the way from a Macanudo Hyde Park 4-pack gift for $20.65, up to a Cool Cohiba 6-pack with an Awesome Ashtray for $89.99. And LOTS in-between!

Lastly, if you can’t decide what to get, then grab a TopHat Gift Card- we are adding $5 for every $25 purchased, so get a $30 gift card for only $25! (In-store purchase only) See you soon and have a great Christmas!

Guys, forward this to whoever loves you and needs a gift idea- send ‘em on over and everyone will be happy this year!
