This oft quoted phrase is used by many to recognize their personal good fortune while simultaneously expressing deep concern for the misfortune experienced by others. The tragedy in Louisiana and Mississippi has moved me beyond words and once again reminded me of how fragile life truly is. Through floods, fires or earthquakes, each of us could be experiencing the same level of loss and sorrow now shared by our neighbors in the south east. As I reflect upon this tragedy, I once again count my blessings and feel compelled to share some of my good fortune with others in need.
With this in mind, I am pleased to announce that Cal National will once again provide a dollar for dollar match on contributions made by employees of Cal National to any of the following three relief organizations.
American Red Cross
- General relief assistance to communities and people in need
- 80% of every dollar raised is committed to relief work
Children’s Hunger Fund
- Immediate shipment of food, water, clothing and medical supplies to families displaced by the hurricane
- 99% of every dollar raised is directed to relied work
Salvation Army:
- General relief assistance to communities and people in need
- 83% of every dollar raised is committed to relief work.
The need is great and donations of any amount will be appreciated. Thank you for your generosity! Working together we are making a difference.
