The forum members of RealGM's Toronto Raptors board challenged each other to donate to Haiti relief, but members didn't know at the time just how far their efforts would go.?
After two weeks of reporting donations, the Raptors board raised over $15,000 towards various earthquake relief funds.?
Raptors' television play-by-play man Matt Devlin was notified of the forum's effort and, with his help,?Raptors' President and GM Bryan Colangelo personally donated $10,000 to UNICEF Canada.?
This inspired?team owners, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment,?to match Colangelo's donations.
The Toronto Raptors and RealGM forum members had a direct hand in raising $35,000 towards Haiti relief efforts, which will be matched by the Canadian government.
