Time Warner Inc. to Donate $1M to Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts18:46 EDT Thursday, November 01, 2012
NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- Time Warner Inc. and its divisions including HBO, Time Inc., Turner
Broadcasting System and Warner Bros. today announced a minimum
commitment of $1 million to aid in Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. The
company will donate $500,000 to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York
City with another $500,000 to be dispersed to other organizations that
are serving victims in the greater Tri-State area.
Additionally, the company will match all U.S. employee donations to
Sandy relief efforts, up to a specified amount. The company is
encouraging employees to visit and support organizations including New
York Cares, NYC Service, the Long Island Volunteer Group and the New
York Food Bank, where it will be participating in a company-wide
volunteer day in the coming weeks.
“New York City is our corporate home, the home to thousands of our
employees, and the location for so many of our film and television
productions. We feel a special kinship with all those who have been
affected by this devastating storm,” said Jeff Bewkes, Chairman and CEO,
Time Warner Inc. “Time Warner and its employees have always responded in
selfless and generous ways to help those in need and we hope that our
contributions will help people to rebuild and recover.”
Through its journalistic outlets at CNN and Time Inc., Time Warner is
also keeping its global audience informed of changes in the dynamic
recovery efforts including those related to transportation and relief.
For example, CNN has launched a website, “Impact Your World” providing
up-to-date information about ways to support the relief efforts.
