  Campaign:  

BURBANK, Calif., October 14, 2016 /3BL Media/ – The Walt Disney Company has dedicated $1 million to help the people and communities impacted by Hurricane Matthew’s devastation. The funds will support our neighbors in Florida, as well as families across the storm’s path — from Georgia and the Carolinas to the Bahamas and the Caribbean.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with all the children and families whose lives were impacted by this tragic storm,” said Robert A. Iger, chairman and chief executive officer, The Walt Disney Company. “We hope that Disney’s support will aid ongoing relief efforts as people begin to recover and rebuild.”

Disney’s donations will go to the American Red Cross and Save the Children, two of the world’s largest humanitarian response organizations, as well as local charitable disaster relief organizations. The Company is collaborating with these non-profits, along with local, state and federal officials in the impacted regions, to ensure its donations reach the areas and families that need it most.
