Interush Responds to Devastating Earthquake in China with new ‘iRush Help’ Program and the Matching of Donations by Interush Affiliates
IRVINE, Calif., May 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — In response to the devastating earthquake that recently claimed and affected so many lives in Sichuan Province in China, Interush, Inc. has established a new global program, called “iRush Help”. Through the program’s new website iRushHelp.org, Interush will increase awareness of the devastation and the importance of donations to assist those affected. The iRush Help program will also serve as a platform for thousands of Interush Affiliates in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan to make donations to support the survivors in the aftermath of this catastrophic disaster.
Martin J. Matthews, Interush Chairman and CEO, commented, “As a father of four, I have great respect and empathy for the trauma and distress that families are being forced to deal with now, and as a group, Interush and our Affiliates are anxious to provide emergency financial aid to help make a real difference for these families who are struggling to survive and starting to rebuild their lives”.
Chinese WTCC Race Driver and multiple GT Champion Darryl O’Young, is assisting with Interush to encourage donations to this program. “When tragedy like this strikes, it affects thousands upon thousands of people and their families. It is very easy for us to be distant and go about our daily lives, but we can all pull together to make a difference as all donations will go towards helping the survivors of this terrible earthquake.”
To maximize the benefit of each donation made by Interush Affiliates, Interush has also announced that it will match donations from each Interush Affiliate, doubling the effect of each Interush Affiliate’s contribution; up to an aggregate total of $1,000,000HKD. Only contributions made by June 30, 2013 will qualify for the matching contributions.
Concerned individuals and companies around the world are encouraged to visit iRushHelp.org today to make a meaningful donation to the iRush Help “Sichuan China 2013” program. Donations are accepted in four international currencies: US Dollar, Chinese Yuan, Taiwan Dollar and Japanese Yen.
Interush has committed that 100% of the aggregate contributions made through to the iRush Help “Sichuan China 2013” program (and matching contributions by Interush) will be donated to the highly-respected ONE FOUNDATION, a non-profit organization (http://www.onefoundation.cn/ ). ONE FOUNDATION is already on the ground at the affected disaster area, dispensing critical items like clean water and food to survivors.
Interush will also send an iRUSH HELP Shirt to the first 1,000 Affiliates who donate a minimum of $65 USD to this special relief fund, in thanks and recognition of their kindness.
