Bob Iger announced today that the Walt Disney Company will donate $100,000 to the Red Cross for the relief efforts underway to help the victims of the 7.0 earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Tuesday at 5 p.m.. More than 2 million people are affected by the largest earthquake to strike the area in more than 200 years and now more than ever, they are in need of financial support as rescue efforts continue today.
Chief Executive Robert Iger said in a statement, "We hope this donation will help the Red Cross to provide immediate aid and relief to the thousands of people affected by this terrible tragedy."

Good on Disney for helping out.
A good thing to do, and good PR while they are at it. Good links to other sources to help us donate, too.
We can all donate a little, but corporate help is big enough to make an immediate impact. Yea Disney.
Good start!
Glad to see Disney is donating to a worthy cause.
