COLUMBIA, S.C., Oct. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- With waters from the weekend's record-setting floods
still rolling through many neighborhoods, AT&T is moving to
help South Carolinians rebuild their lives and
communities. The company today announced a $50,000
donation to the American Red Cross in support of its disaster
relief and storm recovery efforts.
"While these floods were unprecedented in their scope and
scale, South Carolinians have a long heritage of overcoming even
the toughest challenges through our resolve, resiliency and belief
in helping each other," said Pamela
Lackey, president of AT&T-South Carolina. "At AT&T,
we are committed to providing the communication resources which are
needed every day and which are especially important in
times like these. But we are also committed to doing our part to
help our friends, neighbors and communities recover from these
storms."
AT&T is also launching a text-to-give donation program
benefiting the Red Cross disaster relief efforts.
Those wishing to support recovery efforts in South
Carolina can visit www.redcross.org,
call 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or text REDCROSS to
90999 to make a $10
donation*.
"Even as we see tremendous suffering and heartbreak in times of
tragedy, we also see shining examples of kindness and generosity as
people reach out to support others," said Louise Welch
Williams, American Red Cross Regional CEO for South Carolina. "We appreciate the
support of all the organizations and individuals who are helping us
to make a difference for South
Carolina and her people."
Donations to Red Cross Disaster Relief can help provide food,
water and shelter for those who have had to leave their
home. Contributions to the Red Cross will help those
hard-hit by the storm as they start to recover,
rebuild and get back on their feet.
