My Company is involved personally due to owning a few companies in the south that were effected by Katrina and has made a Donation match program up! This is great! My Donation can go that much further.....

Date: September 2, 2005
To: All Employees
Re: Hurricane Katrina Relief

As we indicated earlier this week, we have been reviewing how best to assist our employees affected by the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. We have concluded that donations to the Red Cross will be the most effective way to get necessary aid to the areas that need it most, including many of our colleagues and their loved ones.

AZZ incorporated will match all contributions that are made and will begin the fund with a $2,500 donation. The campaign will begin September 2, 2005 and end September 30, 2005.

Once the donations are forwarded to corporate office, the match will be made and submitted to the American Red Cross - Hurricane Relief Fund.

Your generosity and concern for our employees during this difficult period are sincerely appreciated. Like you, we will continue to hold those affected by this disaster in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,


David H. Dingus
President and Chief Executive Officer

My company announced a match program while I was away as well. I'll have to send them my receipt for my donation!

My company is going to contribute $500,000 directly to disaster-relief organizations. In addition, the company will match employee contributions to relief organizations on a two-for-one basis, up to $500,000. If employee donations total more than $500,000, my company will continue to match those dollars on a one-for-one basis.

I have a feeling this number has easily been reached and exceeded.

my company is sending 100K, and will match every dollar that employees donate as long as we make the donation as a payroll deduction.

I find it odd that GTECH is donating MUCH less money than it sent to the Sunami fund. And it took an extra week for them to donate. Kinda pissed me off

GTECH is one of my customers.

We are doing an employee match as well here at DNPG.

My company is doing the samething, specifically for our employees in that area, as well as continuing to pay them till they are back to work.
