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!
