The AMOA Coin–Op Cares Education & Charitable Foundation is donating $5,000 to support the efforts of Save the Children and UNICEF in the wake of the recent earthquake in Haiti.

Additionally, Coin–Op Cares will work to direct an industry fundraising effort before and during the upcoming AAMA/AMOA Amusement Expo and will match donations from industry sources up to $5,000.

"We realize that many individuals and companies have already stepped up to help the earthquake victims in Haiti," said AMOA President Gary Brewer. "Yet, all reports indicate the recovery and rebuilding process will take a decade or more. Our industry has a long history of being generous, and I ask all individuals, companies and organizations affiliated with our business to support this effort."
