Wright-Patt Lends Helping Hand to Tsunami Victims

FAIRBORN, Ohio – Wright-Patt Credit Union has raised nearly $90,000 for the American Red Cross Tsunami Relief Fund. Since January, the credit union in partnership with WHIO-TV7, launched a donation drive to help the tsunami survivors. “With the caring and generosity of the communities we serve, we hope that the donations gathered throughout the Miami Valley help with the enormous recovery efforts continuing today,” said Gary Easterling, Wright- Patt CU vice president/chief business development officer. The American Red Cross, in conjunction with the International Red Cross, uses the International Response Fund donations to provide tsunami survivors with water, food, basic healthcare and disease prevention items, immediate family supplies such as tents and hygiene items, and support to cope with the trauma of the event.
