Please Support the Haiti Relief Effort by Contributing to the Red Cross

In response to the outpouring of employee concern, GM  is partnering  with the Red Cross to assist with providing relief and aid to the victims of the Haiti Earthquake.   The GM Foundation approved $100,000 contribution to the Red Cross to help the victims of this disaster. The Red Cross responded immediately to provide shelter, food, clean water and medical care to the many people in need of help.

The Government of Canada has announced that Canada will match individual donations up to a total of $50 million to eligible registered Canadian charitable organizations, including the Canadian Red Cross.  Please consider this tremendous matching opportunity to make your personal donation go further.  Simply follow the instructions outlined below to make a  donation and instantly receive an official tax receipt from the Canadian Red Cross.

Thank you for your consideration of this urgent request.
