TORONTO, Feb. 26 – Earlier today CNW Group donated $122,356.91 to the Canadian Red Cross for Haiti relief efforts.
In the days and weeks following the devastating earthquake in Haiti, CNW committed to a fundraising program wherein all revenue generated from earthquake-related news releases would be donated to the Canadian Red Cross. The program produced $101,375.80. CNW added a corporate donation of $20,000.
“We are truly grateful for this generous contribution from the CNW Group,” says Conrad Sauvé, Secretary General and CEO of the Canadian Red Cross. “This contribution, along with all the donations we have received, will allow us to continue to provide urgent aid to the people affected by this devastating earthquake.”
