contributing to disaster relief
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The DENSO North America Foundation (DNAF), DENSO's
philanthropic group, is donating $200,000 to the American Red Cross to support
Hurricane Helene relief efforts in the southeastern U.S.
"Our foundation exists to give back to local communities and
even more so in times of need," said Marty
Deschenes, president of DNAF and leader of DENSO North
America South Sub-Region Manufacturing. "In the wake of Helene,
it's vital that we continue to act on those values. Our thoughts
are with everyone touched by the storm's destruction, and while we
know it may be a long road, we hope DNAF's support will help
contribute to a full recovery."
Those who are able can make their own donation to the American
Red Cross through DENSO's disaster relief microsite.
DNAF's donation is sourced from foundation funds specifically
earmarked for charitable initiatives.

technology, engineering, math and related programs, providing
grants to colleges and universities throughout North America. Such grants help students
