JAKKS Pacific's U.S. and Hong Kong employees rallied together and generously raised $27,000 to help support children and families affected by the natural disaster. As part of the JAKKS Cares philanthropic giving program, JAKKS matched each dollar donated, resulting in a total contribution of $54,000 to support relief efforts of the Red Cross Society of China.
The funds will be used to assist China's earthquake survivors through the purchase and distribution of relief supplies, coordination of logistics and transportation of disaster workers to the hardest hit areas, as well as reconstruction work in mainland China and Myanmar.
"The American Red Cross is grateful for this show of support from JAKKS Pacific. With the assistance of JAKKS' latest gift, the American Red Cross is helping with the China earthquake relief and recovery efforts," said Paul Schulz, Greater Los Angeles Red Cross CEO. "The American Red Cross has committed a total of $20 million for much-needed supplies, technical assistance, and other support to assist the 15 million earthquake survivors in China."
