This cause, I firmly believe, is just as worthy. I believe the official death toll from the devestating Chinese earthquakes is around 15,000, but some analsyts are projecting that the final number will be around 120,000 dead. Nearly 400 dams crumbled, and at least one city lost at least 70 percent of its population. Children were crushed at school, and the last I heard is that they still hadn't made it to the most remote cities as 5.0 tremors continue to pour in. There have been earthquakes this big in the past, but they rarely ever last as long as this one did. I forget the official duration, but I think it was something like 3 minutes. If you've ever been in an earthquake you know that 3 minutes is a long time, especially for a 7.6 earthquake.

I'm going to give $25 to for Chinese earthquake relief. But I don't intend to be alone in doing so. I'm asking for our entire Jaguars family to join with me in giving. If you can afford more, give multiples of $25, but keep this number pouring in. It's a good solid number that we all can afford.

Here's the catch. I don't know where to send it to, and that's where I want your help. We need to act as a team to determine the ideal place to send money to get to where it needs to go. I trust our judgement if most of us agree on a particular place.

Are you with me? I feel in my gut that if we all pitch in, that our extended Jaguars family...as in the players, coaches and owners...will ultimately pitch in as well. Maybe theyll even make it an official Jaguars cause. In any event, as a board we can do our part, and I'm convinced deep down that others will follow.

I also assume that them getting what seems like 90% of our business isn't helping them enough either.

There's no telling the cost right now. I imagine the Chinese are looking at over $100 billion just to replace infrasture. I'm sure they're doing all they can for their people, but they need so much more It's not a question of whether this is the most worthy charity. I'm not asking for anyone to give up their life savings. I'm asking for you each to join with me by shelling out $25 to help ease this crisis, and I'm certain that every last penny will go to good use.

Going out for Chinese food doesn't count.

This is novel idea, but even if it caught on nationwide, would the money really go to those who need it?

I think what he is trying to say is we buy alot of stuff that is made in China.  They get a good portion of our money that way.
