From the creed.com newsdesk.
Dear Creed fans,
Scott Stapp and the With Arms Wide Open Foundation today announced that they
will immediately donate $50,000 to New Yorkers for Children (NYFC). NYFC is
an established non-profit organization that raises funds to support the New
York City Administration for Children's Services (ACS). This is the organization
that will be responsible for taking care of some of the children orphaned by
the WTC tragedy -- stated in news reports as numbering more than 500--as well
as the family members who will now be caring for and supporting their relatives'
orphaned children.
The Foundation is also pledging to match, dollar-for-dollar, donations sent
to the Foundation for NYFC, up to an additional $50,000. Donations for NYFC
may be sent to the Foundation's office, or can be made on the Foundation's website,
www.witharmswideopen.org <http://www.witharmswideopen.org>
. Moreover, proceeds from the Foundation's celebrity softball event, to be held
this Saturday in Orlando, Florida, will be forwarded to NYFC.
Thanks for your continued support,
The CreedNet Crew

Washington, D.C. September 11, 2001 -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) is urging those interested in helping victims of the apparent terrorist
events to give blood or cash donations. Those interested in giving blood should
call the American Red Cross blood donation hotline, at 1-800-448-3543. The American
Red Cross can accept cash donations through 1-800-HELP NOW, and the Salvation
Army can accept financial contributions through 1-800-SAL ARMY. Persons who
wish to donate their services should contact their local American Red Cross
office.
FEMA does not accept
donations, but works closely with volunteer agencies that provide a wide variety
of services after emergencies, including childcare, crisis counseling, sheltering
and food.
