Fifth Third Bank (NASDAQ:FITB) today announced it is making a
$50,000 donation to the American Red Cross to support relief
efforts in Puerto Rico.
“Inspired by our Florida employees, who in the midst of their
own weather disaster began organizing aid for their neighbors, our
Company is stepping up, too,” said Greg D. Carmichael, president
and CEO of Fifth Third Bank. “We are contributing another $50,000
to the American Red Cross for relief efforts, this time, directed
to work in Puerto Rico.”
Fifth Third has contributed more than $400,000 this year to
support various hurricane relief efforts. In addition to monetary
support and a match on employee and customer donations, the Bank
provided short-term special assistance to customers in
hurricane-affected areas in the form of waived or refunded fees.
Financial empowerment mobiles, or eBuses, also were deployed across
Florida to provide help with FEMA assistance forms and to serve as
a Wi-Fi hotspot, cell phone charging station and cooling
station.
“This has been a tough year for so many of our friends,
families, neighbors and customers. We are ready to do what we can
to stand with them in this very difficult time,” Carmichael
added.
