I received this email this morning and I'm just sharing it with all the boards I'm a member of. It's pretty interesting.
Who Contributed????
I thought I would pass this along. It is interesting when you think of
what
we mean to the world and what we get in return. CNN Headline News did a
short news listing regarding Ford and GM`s contributions to the relief
and
recovery efforts in New York and Washington. The findings are as
follows.....
1. Ford- $1 million to American Red Cross matching employee
contributions of
the same number plus 10 Excursions to NY Fire Dept. The company also
offered
ER response team services and office space to displaced government
employees.
2. GM- $1 million to American Red Cross matching employee contributions
of
the same number and a fleet of vans, SUV`s, and trucks.
3. Daimler Chrysler- $10 million to support of the children and victims
of
the Sept. 11 attack.
4. Harley Davidson motorcycles- $1 million and 30 new motorcycles to the
New
York Police Dept.
5. Volkswagen- Employees and management created a Sept. 11 Foundation,
funded initial with $2 million, for the assistance of the children and
victims of the WTC.
6. Hyundai- $300,000 to the American Red Cross.
7. Audi- Nothing.
8. BMW- Nothing.
9. Daewoo- Nothing.
10. Fiat- Nothing.
11. Honda- Nothing despite boasting of second best sales month ever in
August 2001
12. Isuzu- Nothing.
13. Mitsubishi- Nothing.
14. Nissan- Nothing.
15. Porsche- Nothing. Press release with condolences via the Porsche
website.
16. Subaru- Nothing.
17. Suzuki- Nothing.
18. Toyota- Nothing despite claims of high sales in July and August
2001.
