  • GM Foundation Donates To New Zealand Earthquake Relief Efforts

    On February 22, 2011, a 6.3 richter earthquake leveled much of the area in and around Christchurch, New Zealand, leaving much of its residents without homes, and homeowners fortunate enough not to have their places reduced to rubble were left without running water, let alone working toilets or showers.

    Thankfully the General Motors Foundation through Holden stepped up and donated $200,000 to the earthquake relief efforts in Christchurch, New Zealand. The GM Foundation has helped with past earthquake-recovery efforts in Hati, as well as flood relief in Queensland, Australia,  Tennessee, and Kentucky. Continue for the press release.

    Update: the supply-packed Sierras were shipped to Haiti on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 (with pictures below).

    Former President Bill Clinton, who is also the current UN Special Envoy to Haiti, called for vehicles to support recovery efforts in Haiti. In response, the General Motors Foundation’s GM Global Aid program will donate 30 GMC Sierras to Haiti relief efforts. The trucks will be used to transport supplies to survivors of the January 12 earthquake.

    The donation comes with the cooperation of both the National Football League and the William J. Clinton Foundation. Two of the trucks were delivered yesterday to the NFL’s Little Haiti Outreach Event at the Sant La Haitian Neighborhood Center in Miami. “Everyone in America has been affected in some way by this tragedy. GM and the NFL are going to visit the heart of Haitian community in South Florida to show our support,” Susan Docherty, Vice President of Sales, Support, and Marketing as well as GM Foundation board member, said yesterday. Miami Dolphins players and GM executives were among the attendees at the NFL fundraiser. The trucks were filled with water and supplies donated by Florida GMC dealers and their surrounding communities. (more…)
