Andersen Corporate Foundation Gives $25K to Oklahoma Tornado Relief Efforts

The Andersen Corporate Foundation is donating $25,000 to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief to help the organization provide food, shelter and emotional support for those affected by the recent tornadoes that touched down in Oklahoma.

“While an act of nature like a tornado can do its damage in mere minutes, rebuilding and recovery can take months and years,” Keith Olson, President of the Andersen Corporate Foundation, said in a news release. “It’s our hope that this donation will help speed that process, and help the people and communities affected in Oklahoma rebuild.”
The Andersen Corporate Foundation has a long history of charitable support for disaster recovery in communities across North America.
Over the past decade, the foundation has contributed nearly $2.5 million to aid disaster recovery efforts from Red River Valley flooding to hurricanes Sandy, Katrina and Rita to tornadoes in Joplin and Tuscaloosa as well as earthquake victims in Haiti.
