Desparate times call for desparate measures

Got this today from Nissan:

we have worked with our global colleagues to best understand the immediate need, so that we could make a coordinated gift of support from the Nissan Americas region. At this moment the American Red Cross is establishing an online microsite that will accept donations from our employees, contract personnel, dealers, suppliers and customers. In addition to a direct $500,000 donation to this site, Nissan Americas will match all gifts made online there, dollar-for-dollar, up to $500,000. In total Nissan Americas has pledged $1 million to the American Red Cross in relief effort support for the country. Globally, Nissan’s contributions will reach more than $3.75 million in cash and in-kind contributions to support earthquake relief efforts. This includes global and regional corporate donations, employee gift matching, as well as the provision of 50 vehicles to support aid agencies in the affected areas of Japan.

Depending on the traffic this gets, I might make a new post about it.

Man, I missed this thread completely. Glad to see it worked out, Neal!

We are currently contributing to the people affected (still) of the earthquake that happened 5 to 6 years ago in the north of Pakistan, but will see what we can send to the Red Cross for this unfortunate Japan quake.

Do it. We'll get more response and we can put it out over the social media outlets.
