HUMMER, GM FOUNDATION DONATE TEN MORE VEHICLES TO RED CROSS .... As part of the partnership with the American Red Cross, HUMMER and the GM Foundation will deliver ten more HUMMERs to Red Cross chapters across the United States.
Red Cross chapters in Atlanta; Detroit; Los Angeles; New York; Norfolk, Va.; Philadelphia; San Diego; San Francisco; and Washington, D.C. will receive a combination of H1, H2 and H3 vehicles to strengthen their emergency preparation and disaster response capability. These vehicles are part of a committed 72 vehicle fleet.
The first trucks were delivered last December to Red Cross chapters in areas hardest hit by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. In addition to the vehicles, the GM Foundation is making cash contributions of $100,000 annually for six years.
"It is with admiration that we thank the millions of Americans who selflessly give their time, effort and money to support the work of the American Red Cross in communities nationwide," said Rod Gillum, GM vice president Corporate Responsibility and Diversity and Chairman, GM Foundation. "We believe that these capable HUMMER vehicles will give Red Cross employees and community volunteers better mobility when and where they need it."
This donation is also in recognition of March as American Red Cross month.
