We are pleased to announce that our Workout to Help Out Japan initiative was very successful and generated $54,200 for the Japanese earthquake relief efforts. We proudly presented the American Red Cross with a check for this donation on April 15.

“The need in Japan is enormous, so we are thankful to partner with the Red Cross as they continue to provide thousands of survivors in Japan with life-saving aid,” said Robert Giardina, CEO and President. “As the country’s recovery needs evolve, we want to encourage others to help in whatever way they can.”

Accepting on behalf of the Red Cross was Fran McKinley, Assistant Director of Development for the Metro NY Region who commented, “We are truly grateful for this generous contribution… these funds will provide critical humanitarian support to the Japanese people.”

We would like to thank all of our members who fueled the initiative by joining during this campaign.
