The Hats for Haiti program started on January 15, 2010, by the Roblox Corporation to help relief efforts in Haiti to help ease the damages caused by the 2010 7.0 Magnitude Haiti Earthquake by donating money for every Blue Hat for Haiti (worth $.10[1] USD) and Red Hat for Haiti (worth $.65[1] USD) to the American Red Cross. The program ended on January 21, 2010, with 16,000[2] players donating to the cause. The program was successful and helped raise US$5479.00[2] for the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund.[1]
