Hi all,
We have all seen the devastation that Hurricane Katrina left in New Orleans, and
with it the displaced families and children. They all have little or nothing
from their homes and have been placed in shelters around the country. Companies
and organizations from around the world are assisting in relief efforts,
including The LEGO Group.
LEGO employees around the world have been
collecting money internally that is being matched dollar for dollar by the Edith
and Godtfred Kirk Christiansen Foundation in the name of the Relief Fund and
will be given to the Red Cross.
The LEGO Group has invited the adult LEGO
community to join this donation matching program. If you’re interested in
participating, please send your monetary donation to:
LEGO Group
Attn: AFOL
Katrina Relief
555 Taylor Road
Enfield, CT 06082
Checks need to be made out to the Red Cross. Check or money order is the
preferred method of submission. If you have any questions or concerns, Jake
McKee (jake@lego.com) has offered to address them as quickly as possible.
In
addition to the program outlined above, the LEGO Group is working on several
other Katrina relief efforts, which Jake has promised more details on soon. In
the meantime, we can announce that monetary donations will be collected at the
25 LEGO stores around the United States, with those donations matched by the
Christiansen Foundation as well.
Every donation counts, and with the help of
the LEGO Group, the community’s effort will go farther to helping out relief
efforts.
Thank you very much to everyone who can help out.If you can’t give
through this program, please donate or volunteer in another way. The hurricane
victims need you!
Joe Meno
