IRVINE, Calif., (September 2005) Meguiar’s cares about cars, but, more
importantly, it cares about people. Providing
financial assistance to those who have suffered tragic losses as a result of
Hurricane Katrina’s devastating aftermath is one more way that Meguiar’s will
fulfill its commitment to “giving back.”
Profits from appearance care products and accessories listed on eBay
will be donated to Convoy of Hope, www.convoyofhope.org. This non-profit organization dedicated to
providing disaster relief in the United States, and around the
world, is the Meguiar Family charity of choice because they have complete trust
that Convoy of Hope maximizes every donated dollar. With administration costs provided by
supporters for that specific purpose, 100% of the monies contributed for Hurricane
Katrina victims will reach those who are in need and dependent on both
immediate and long-term support. Additionally,
Meguiar’s is generously matching contributions made by their employees to
assist with Convoy of Hope’s relief efforts for those affected by this disaster.
Meguiar’s Katrina Disaster Relief
Store, http://stores.ebay.com/meguiarskatrinarelief, includes a selection of consumer and professional
automotive products, as well as shirts, jackets and other accessories. Every purchase will result in monies being
donated to hurricane relief. This is a
dual opportunity--while buying products to take care of their cars, purchasers
will be helping hurricane victims receive resources to rebuild their
lives.
