Help GTPlanet Fight Pancreatic Cancer in 2012
It’s that time of year again, where the GTPlanet community comes together for the greater good!
I lost one of my closest family members to pancreatic cancer in 2010, and I still feel the sting from their diagnosis. In 2011, the rest of the world also suffered at its hands, when Steve Jobs passed away in October at only 56 years of age. Cancer doesn’t care who or how old you are; it’s a terrible disease, and I am proud to fight it.
To help me, sign up for GTPlanet Premium membership between now and 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on December 25, 2011.
You can join for as little as $12.00 USD, and 100% of your subscription fee will be donated to fight pancreatic cancer, via the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
If you’re already a subscriber or would just like to spread the cheer, gift Premium membership to your friends. Just click their username above any of their posts and select “Give GTPremium”. They’ll have a very nice surprise waiting for them the next time they sign in, and you’ll have brought the world one step closer to defeating this disease.
Thanks to all of you who can support our efforts again this year. Have a great Christmas, and enjoy your Premium membership in 2012!
UPDATE: The numbers are in, and I’m very excited to report GTPlanet’s users raised $997.00 (I bumped the total donation up to $1,000, of course!) for pancreatic cancer research in just two days, with a record-breaking 55 new Premium subscribers. This is an incredible result, and I couldn’t be more greatful to all of you who helped contribute. Thank you!

I am a nurse and I know how terrible this disease is (and other cancers). I would love to sub for the “lifetime” option but i was surprised “lifetime” means “20 years” here in GTPlanet. I would like to know if this is just a glitch info or what?

DONE! Eventhough I just read through and don’t post a lot, I think me getting the lifetime sub is worth it because it also serves a greater cause. Thanks for clearing things up regarding subbing Jordan. This is such a noble cause initiated by you.

I wish I can donate but I don’t have a card. I have lost my grandma to pancreatic cancer last year a few days after Christmas so I feel your pain.

you know, if GT Credits were real, everyone that plays GT5 would donate 20,000,000 and end every type of cancer.

How dare you even question such a thing.. You should be ashamed of yourself.. It is called donating through my business.. Which i lose money but get it back on tax return.. $7500 that could be going into my business or to give myself more wages but no. I do the honourable thing and I will allocated that money where and how I want to. I donate to enough charities, Just because I am missing it now doesn’t mean I wont do it.
Get your facts straight first boy.

I’m very sorry to hear about your lost member Jordan, who you were close too all your life. :( This is really something I truly will love to help, this cancer sounds really freighting. I wish there was a way I could help. Merry Christmas my friend and to your family aswell. :)

I’ve almost to say one more thing, my mother’s sister’s husband have also been taken away from her from this terrible disease. :(

Two years ago Thursday I lost my grandfather to cancer of the kidney. So while it may not be the same kind of cancer, Jordan I’m with you man, and unfortunately many many others are too.
This is absolutely a no-brainer, I’m going premium for a lifetime. I’m just so glad it’s going to a cancer organization, regardless of what it may be. -
