Disaster Relief

When major disasters affect PLUS members and their families, the PLUS Foundation is there – providing emotional and financial support.

Hurricane Relief 2005

Following the devastation of Katrina, the PLUS Foundation mobilized resources to raise corporate and individual donations quickly, and to provide aid where it was needed most.

• $25,000 to PLUS members in disaster areas
• $30,000 to the Gilsbar Relief Fund – the largest employer of PLUS members in the gulf area
• $39,350 to the “Big I” Katrina Relief Fund

9/11 Victims Campaign

This was a call to action that forever shifted the Foundation’s focus toward philanthropy, supporting members and their communities.

• Raised over $200,000 to support families of PLUS members lost in the tragedy
• Donated $5,000 each to the FDNY and NYPD
