Bell Microproducts and Its Employees Donate Over $114,000 to Haiti Relief Efforts
March 09 2010 - 3:00AM
Bell Microproducts Inc. (Nasdaq:BELM), one of the world's largest
value-added distributors of storage and computing technology, today
announced that employees of the company have donated over $57,000
to assist the Haitian humanitarian relief efforts. The company
matched employee donations for a total donation of over
$114,000. Soon after the earthquake occurred in Haiti,
employees of the company worldwide began contributing to help the
victims. The company announced in January that it would match
employee donations and offered to provide payroll deductions for
donations. Employees donated cash through one-time payments,
payroll deductions and by converting accrued vacation into cash
that could be donated.
"The generosity of the Bell Micro employees was again
demonstrated," said Don Bell, president and chief executive officer
of the company. "Our employees have always come through to
help others, whether it is their fellow employees or people in
other parts of the world that need help." Bell continued by
saying that just several months ago, Bell Microproducts employees
supported the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light The Night
Campaign and raised over $45,000. "I am extremely proud of our
employees," said Bell.
The donations to the Haiti relief efforts were made through the
Red Cross.
