Rogers Communications and The Rogers family announced, Wednesday evening, they will donate $250,000 in relief efforts in Haiti.

Rogers will also enable customers to support relief efforts through a text-to-donate campaign.

Customers of Rogers Wireless and Fido can help those in Haiti by donating to Partners In Health: Haiti and other Haitian relief organizations by sending the text message "HELP" to shortcode 1291 starting Wednesday.

By using the code, customers can donate $5.00 to the Haitian relief efforts.

Rogers is working with The ONEXONE Foundation to facilitate 100 per cent of donations in funds and goods to Partners In Health: Haiti and other Haitian relief organizations.

In conjunction with the text-to-donate campaign and on behalf of its more than 10 million customers across the country, Rogers Communications and The Rogers family together will donate $250,000 in funds and goods to Partners In Health: Haiti and other relief organizations in Haiti.

"We at Rogers extend our deepest sympathies to everyone affected by the earthquake in Haiti, and to Canadians who are concerned for their loved ones back home," said Edward Rogers, Deputy Chairman, Rogers Communications. "In support of Partners in Health and other relief organizations in Haiti, we encourage our customers to aid relief efforts via our text-to-donate campaign."
