At the time of this blog, the Red Cross is estimating 50,000 people have died in the devastating earthquake that disrupted the nation of Haiti this week.  The earthquake registered 7.0 on the Richter Scale - to put this in perspective, the great San Francisco Bay Area earthquake of 1989 registered 6.9.

The US has sent rescue teams and has pledged 3,500 troops and 2,200 marines as aid to Haiti.  Currently the teams are in a "search and rescue" mode, moving rubble and searching for survivors.  Eventually, a rebuilding process will begin - one that will take time and money.

President Obama has agreed to send $100M to Haiti initially, with ongoing financial aid to come, but this certainly won't be enough.

In response, Commercial Ink is offering support in a different way.  Labeled as "Project 7.0", Commercial Ink will be raising awareness through the sale of "Project 7.0" Dogtags.  All profit proceeds will go directly to the Red Cross Haitian earthquake relief efforts.  The cost of the tags is $10/set.
