Brother International Makes Contribution To Red Cross For Hurricane Relief Efforts

BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Sept. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to support those affected by Hurricane Harvey, Brother Group, Japanese multinational electronics and electrical equipment company, will be donating $50,000 to the American Red Cross relief efforts. Additionally, Brother has worked with Red Cross to create a microsite, which will allow employees to easily make personal contributions if they choose to do so. Employees can donate to either Hurricane Harvey or Hurricane Irma relief efforts through the microsite.

Hurricane Harvey has caused extensive damage and flooding in the city of Houston and the surrounding communities. Fortunately, Brother's associates, their families, and their homes in the area are safe. However, one cannot say the same for those that were lost or the tens of thousands who lost their homes.

"Our thoughts are with those that have been affected by Hurricane Harvey and we look forward to seeing the region recover stronger than ever," said Kaz Ikeda, President Brother International USA.

In light of the devastating flooding and damages to homes, businesses and infrastructure, Brother hopes its efforts can help to support the region as it rebuilds and move forward.
