When disaster hits, the American Red Cross is thankful for supporters who help us take on the massive undertaking of getting those affected back on their feet. That's why we're happy to share that RadioShack Corp. today announced a $50,000 donation to the American Red Cross to support Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. The donation will help cover costs of shelter, food, recovery and other assistance to families affected by the storm.
“Hurricane Sandy has been a storm of historic magnitude,” said Dorvin L. Lively, CEO of RadioShack Corp. “RadioShack wants to support the Red Cross in its efforts to help the communities and families we serve get back to normal as quickly as possible.”
RadioShack is also encouraging customers to join them in supporting the Red Cross. Through mobile donations, the customers can donate $10 to American Red Cross directly by texting RED CROSS to 90999, then confirming the donation. The donation amount will appear on the customer’s next monthly invoice. RadioShack will be also be using its social media channels, such a their Facebook page, to share mobile donation instructions and encourage additional contributions.
Thank you, Radio Shack, for supporting us as we bring help and hope to those in the line of Hurricane Sandy! To support the Red Cross with a donation, follow our text to give instructions above or click here to make an online donation.
