To the Broad and Whitehead Community:
We want to express our heartfelt
gratitude for your care, contribution and generosity toward the Sichuan
earthquake relief effort. As many of you know, the earthquake claimed more than
51,000 lives, injured over 280,000 and left over 5 million people homeless (for more information on the earthquake, click here).
Your generous contribution will help change the lives of the survivors, and
equally importantly, give them hope for a better tomorrow.
Within the Broad and Whitehead community, we have raised $ 11298 since May
13th, through donations and raffle ticket sale. All funds raised have been sent
to specific relief funds for Sichuan earthquake at Hong Kong Red Cross and at
Chinese Consulate General in New York. Detailed
accounting is here.
The above number is just a partial reflection of the care and strength of the
Broad and Whitehead community, as we received tremendous help during the
effort. In particular, support from the leadership and help from the
communications office and facilities are critical for the success of our fund
raising events. Numerous individuals have offered help and encouragement and
have made contributions by different ways.
The earthquake relief will be a long and difficult process. We deeply
appreciate your continued care for this cause, as well as the relief efforts
for disasters in other parts of the world.
Thank you!
