Carnival Corporation & plc, is making a $1 million donation to aid victims of Hurricane Charley. Half the monies will be directed to the disaster relief fund recently announced by Florida Governor Jeb Bush that has been established by the Volunteer Florida Foundation and the other half to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
“Those of us who live and work in South Florida feel a particularly strong level of compassion for the victims of Hurricane Charley as many members of our own community recall the difficulties faced following Hurricane Andrew,” said Carnival Corporation & plc Chairman and CEO Micky Arison.
He added, “Among those who have been affected are fellow travel industry partners and customers and it is our privilege to lend support to them and the many citizens within these communities in their time of need.”
Arison is also managing general partner of the Miami HEAT basketball team, which last week sent a group, including HEAT players, Burnie the HEAT mascot, the HEAT Dancers, and the Xtreme Team, to visit several locations on Florida’s West Coast to lift the spirits of hurricane victims.
