PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - A drive-through donation campaign at the Rose Bowl Thursday raised at least $100,000 to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, the Red Cross said.

The turnout was so overwhelming - more than 1,000 donors dropped off checks, some as large as $10,000 - organizers extended the event by more than two hours, to 9 p.m. Thursday, said spokesman Dereck Andrade.

"I've heard people say they are just numb, they can't believe it happened," Andrade said. "People feel frustrated, and the only way people in Southern California can help" is by making donations.
