Anheuser-Busch Continues to Supply Water to Victims of Hurricane Katrina;
Company Foundation Donates $1 Million to the American Red Cross for Relief Efforts
Friday September 2, 6:00 am ET
Anheuser-Busch and Its Wholesalers Now Begin Shipping More Than Two Million Cans of Water Per Week to Relief Efforts
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anheuser-Busch Companies said today it will be increasing its donation of fresh drinking water to nearly 2.5 million cans per week to Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.
Recognizing the unique position the company is in to provide safe drinking water, the company will also be converting operations at its Houston brewery, in addition to its Cartersville, Ga., brewery, to producing canned water.
The company's Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Anheuser-Busch Companies, is also increasing its donation to the Red Cross to $1 million to help ongoing relief efforts along the Gulf Coast communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
Anheuser-Busch will also match contributions made by its employees to the Red Cross Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.
In addition, the company announced it will match up to an additional $1 million from its independent wholesalers nationwide.
"As the extent of the devastation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina becomes clearer, our resolve to help becomes stronger. We have the ability to bring something life-saving to the victims: fresh drinking water. Together with our network of wholesalers across the country, we are mobilizing all of our resources to get water to these victims and to relief workers," said Patrick Stokes, president and chief executive officer of Anheuser-Busch Companies.

Retired Lt. Commander..
I now will look forward to the Fontana race myself. I lived near the beach most of my life there, so I consider it my home state.
Got the list,
Thanks!
Pre-Race in a few moments.
My Uncle worked at Kaiser for 15-20 years or so, retired there in Hacienda Heights. Hot place in the summer.
Hopefully the winds not blowing hotdog wrappers around.

Yikes McMary's glasses look like those things people who had cataract surgery wear.
Small world we lived in Rowland Heights. When the structual division first moved to Fontana, there wasn't any air conditioning in the offices. They said that Henry Kaiser made it just fine without and we could too. Well it wasn't long before the big shots were begging for a little coolness.
