(PRWEB) September 5, 2005 -- GDCDiscounts.com, an online discount store, makes corporate decision to donate 50 percent of its earnings to Hurricane Katrina Relief through the American Red Cross.

Founder and CEO, Melissa Greer, formerly of IBM and Cisco Systems founded GDCDiscounts.com upon the principle of making money and giving it back to the community. Prior charitable donations of 30 percent of gross earnings of GDCDiscounts.com have been allotted to Aids Research, Breast Cancer Research and Habitat for Humanity.

Corporate America must respond swiftly and assuredly to the tragedy and destruction of Hurricane Katrina", says Greer. If you believe in the notion that there are only six degrees of separation between any two people on earth, then you see the reality that the victims and survivors of Katrina are just like our next door neighbors. Their pain affects us no matter where we live. It's time for individuals and corporations to pull together and offer more than just a handout. We need to help rebuild the affected region and draft a plan that will prevent these tragedies in the future.

Greer says, I have always believed that it is possible to be profitable and charitable simultaneously. Our motto at GDCDiscounts.com is Give a Little...Save a Lot." The consumer wins AND the community wins. It doesn't get better than that!"
