Rose International Contributes to Hurricane Katrina Relief Operation

Rose International and its employees launch a donation drive to help those affected

ST. LOUIS (September 23, 2005) – Rose International and its employees have donated over $20,000 to the American Red Cross to support the Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts.

Rose employees had the opportunity to donate to the American Red Cross by having money withheld from their paycheck. The company then matched all employee-donated funds.

“Helping people in need means a lot to Rose and its employees,” said Mrs. Himanshu Bhatia, CEO of Rose International. “This tragedy affected some of our employees personally, but beyond that, the impact to our nation and the great city of New Orleans, not to mention the coastal region down there, it was just horrible. It was just something we wanted to come together on as a company and do something about. I’m not surprised, but very pleased with the response from our employees.”

The donation drive went on for two weeks. During this time, Rose employees donated over $10,000 from their paychecks. The company then matched those donations, and sent $20,000 to the Red Cross Hurricane Relief Fund.

“This disaster has affected hundreds of thousands of people, said Danielle Reynolds, an employee at the Rose headquarters. “They have lost everything. The need for help is so great, and I know that my donation and all others are not only needed, but much appreciated.”
