From "Broadcasting and Cable":

Fremantle wants its new rookie Card Sharks to help out in the New York
relief efforts.
The syndicator is currently asking New York area rescue workers if they
would want to appear on the game show to help win money for the victims'
families.

Fremantle is still waiting to hear from New York officials if the workers
can be released to come on Card Sharks.

But apparently, some firefighters have already expressed interest in going
on the show.

Any money the rescue workers win on Card Sharks, Fremantle would match and
donate the entire amount to various charities supporting the relief
activities.

"All of us in the world are trying to do something," explains Joe Scotti,
Fremantle's distribution chief, regarding why he wanted his company to try
to contribute to the relief efforts. - Susanne Ault

Sounds like this idea is now a firm go, as per Zap2It.com:
