San Francisco, September 1, 2005- AAA of Northern California, Nevada and Utah announced today that it will match employee and member donations up to a total $250,000 to the American Red Cross to provide emergency aid to victims of the recent disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina.
Many of the auto club's employees and 4.4 million members had already begun working to give and gather donations for relief efforts underway to help victims of the deadly storm.
"AAA members and employees have always shown tremendous heart in responding to communities in need, and I have no doubt this will be true again," said company president Paula Downey. "Our thoughts go out to all of those impacted by Hurricane Katrina."
AAA members who wish to have their contributions matched can take checks made out to the American Red Cross to any AAA office or donate online.
