Imperial Tobacco employees in the US are helping to raise funds to support families in Oklahoma affected by last month’s devastating tornado.
And Commonwealth – Altadis has pledged to match the donations made by its employees to the American Red Cross Oklahoma Disaster Relief Fund.
The idea came from Bonnie Marks, fleet supervisor in Travel & Fleet Management, who said that employees felt they had to help in some way.
About 24 people, including seven children, were killed when the category five tornado tore through Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City.
“It’s great to see that our people care enough to lend a helping hand to those left devastated by events in Oklahoma,” said Kevin Freudenthal, region director Americas.
