On Television

Lots of celebrities helping raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief.

In the past few days since the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina started to become known, I've seen dozens of organizations respond. Of course there's groups like the Red Cross and the Salvation Army that immediately stepped up and were on the scene almost instantly. And within a day or two I started hearing about different ways that other groups are also working on contributing monetarily or with much needed food, medical supplies, and other items. Most major corporations, including my employer are offering to match employee monetary donations. Celebrities like Harry Connick Jr., Ellen DeGeneres, and countless others are trying to help raise money too. Even professional athletes, who are known for being self-centered, are moved to try to do something. Hats off to folks like Warrick Dunn.
