Less than a week af­ter do­nat­ing US$100,000 to­wards the re­lief ef­forts in earth­quake dev­as­tat­ed Haiti, Fi­fa vice-pres­i­dent Jack Warn­er has seen his call to the world­wide foot­ball com­mu­ni­ty bring about more supp­port. Fi­fa has re­spond­ed, pledg­ing US$250,000 to re­lief ef­forts while Fi­fa vice-pres­i­dent Chung Moon-Jung has pledged US$.5 mil­lion of his per­son­al funds to as­sist in on­go­ing dis­as­ter re­lief ef­forts in the Caribbean na­tion. Warn­er has de­scribed the ges­ture as " a true rep­re­sen­ta­tion of Fi­fa's prin­ci­ples."

Warn­er said, "I con­tact­ed both Fi­fa pres­i­dent Sepp Blat­ter and vice-pres­i­dent Moon-Jung on this mat­ter last week. "I ex­plained the ur­gency and the grav­i­ty of the sit­u­a­tion which has be­fall­en our Caribbean broth­ers. I would like to thank both of them for their com­pas­sion and gen­eros­i­ty." Con­fir­ma­tion of the pledges, came in the form of two emails to the Con­ca­caf pres­i­dent Jack Warn­er from Blat­ter and Moon Jung yes­ter­day morn­ing. Warn­er al­so said that a re­port was sub­mit­ted to Fi­fa of­fi­cials on Sun­day night by CFU vice-pres­i­dent Cap­tain Ho­race Bur­rell of Ja­maica, fol­low­ing his vis­it to the is­land on Sun­day.
