[Jordan]

Hi Jordesh! Thank you for participating in the the last Community Challenge! Your jumping efforts helped the community reach the jumping target, so Habbo will donate $10 000 to World Horse Welfare. As a thank you, we've awarded you a special Pegasus Rider badge! You'll find it in your Inventory. Enjoy! - Habbo Hotel

Also I received a badge from them too. I'm actually please with the amount they gave them.

[Charlie]

Wow, that's an impressive amount. Good on Habbo and the people who helped.

[David]

Aw, that's actually really nice! I wish it could've been a different charity, but I'm sure that charity is good and close to someone's heart.

[Kasabian]

Without sounding harsh, is there any proof they donated?

Because I could tell you I gave £1,000,000 to KFC and that would be the same.

Not at the moment, I looked on the charities website and couldn't see any mention of it. I guess it depends if they have donated the money yet.

Yeah, had a quick look round and haven't seen anything yet.

omg really? thats great good for you. instead of paying your debts - splashing out on kfc :O

lol yeah that's a good point

[Samantha]

I got a badge and I didn't know why but yeah agree about the proof.

[Showder]

Well done, err Habbo. *awkward clap*

[NeverSkem]

I Got that

Nice badge and a nice donation :D

[Jurv]

i think the badge is really nice and it's great to see them donating to charity, if they did.

[beth]

will believe it when i see it, 10k is a rather large donation and i'm sure the horse charity would make mention of it somewhere.

[Chris]

I'm surprised to see habbo donate that much, but its great to hear nonetheless! :D

[Zahura]

Hmm, If they did do it then it's a massive step for habbo.

[Succubus]

Well done to them!
Great amount of money, very kind as well :P
(Btw is there any proof?)

[Aaron]

Shocked that Habbo have donated to them! :o

[Seikou]

i hope they have donated to them, it would have been a really nice thing to do... i somehow doubt it though.

[AlexJRiley]

That was very nice of them!

[:odey:]

I like the badge even though I only did like, 1 jump :(!

Nice to see them giving back :D

[JerseySafety]

very nice, will believe it when I see proof though.

[Toilet]

A lot of dubious people on here. Why would Sulake go out of their way to fake a donation?

[Jazz]

wow, well done habbo! :-O

[Amberr]

I got the badge aswell, I was quite surprised by how much they donated, looks like habbo does have a heart ;)

[SackRace]

well done habbo

[Jssy]

Aw that's nice of them.
About proof: can't you get in trouble saying you're donating to charity and then don't?

[Suspective]

Shame they chose to donate to a Horse charity... I can think of several other charities which need the money more and do great things.

[Kasabian]

Out of curiosity, did anyone ever find proof they donated?

[Jordy]

How would they prove they donated to the charity? If they posted a picture of a cheque, how would you know it wasn't photoshopped or even a genuine cheque for instance?

It's very naive to think a multi-billion dollar company such as Sulake would risk their entire reputation on falsely claiming to of donated to charity ($10k is very little to them I think it's safe to assume). I'm sure a charity like World Horse Welfare would be well aware if large websites were claiming to of gave them donations and I've no doubt this would be swiftly followed by letters to lawyers.

Who's to say Bill Gates is giving his money away? You haven't seen him spending his money in Africa? He would be found out and his reputation would be ruined if that was the case and it's no different here.

[kitten]

wow :o that's alot, good for habbo. :)

[Shockwave.2CC]

Well Done to them

:)

[Samantha.]

I got the badge, I quite like it but I didn't even know I participated but oh well :P

[ElliottThompson]

Yeah help the horses... some starving children can wait for now

[Zuth]

Yeah help the horses... some starving children can wait for now

I'm not going against you or anything but I think the person/company who donated the money must of picked the charity for a reason, they may not of wanted to give it to starving children, its their money.

[xxMATTGxx]

Yeah help the horses... some starving children can wait for now

There is a lot of charities and they aren't all for starving children and you can't always donate to every single one of them. If you really want to help them, then donate some of your own money to the charity you think that needs help! :P

It was curiosity, I wasn't accusing Habbo/Sulake of not donating. Usually there is a news article written by the receiving charity.

For what it's worth, Habbo/Sulake were premature releasing the minimail detailing their donation, considering World Horse Welfare don't know about it yet.

It's a nice thing they are doing. I would have thought that they would do it more often with the amount of money they make though.

[xxMATTGxx]

The money has now been donated!

That's great news! The exchange rate brings the sum down a bit but it's still a large amount to give.

[Chippiewill]

It's nice that Habbo donated money to charity but for all the profit they probably made it could have been a lot more. Still, good on them for following through with it.
