ConferenceCall.com Answers the Phone to the Red Cross
Texas-Based Teleconferencing Provider Makes Service and
Human Donations to National Relief Efforts.
CARROLLTON, Texas - September 13, 2001 - ConferenceCall.com, a nationwide teleconferencing provider, today announced it is making service and human resources donations to the American Red Cross as part of the ongoing relief efforts in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"ConferenceCall.com's generous donation has assisted our relief efforts," said Wayne Brennessel, Red Cross Relief director. "Communication is a key component in organizing and delivering immediate assistance and this gift supports those efforts by allowing us to keep in touch."
Communication is at the heart of the various relief efforts taking place in New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. ConferenceCall.com has a distinguished record of making annual charitable contributions to organizations including the Red Cross, and at this time, has elected to step up its donations to include cash, teleconferencing services and personnel time to assist with the current efforts of the Red Cross. The teleconferencing services can be used at any time and will never expire.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims' families and we salute the courage and unyielding determination of the NYPD, FDNY, EMS and others who have worked tirelessly to rescue the victims of these horrific events," said Kevin Scherer, President and CEO, ConferenceCall.com.
In addition, Preston Price, a ConferenceCall.com customer service representative, donated three weeks of his time to join the relief efforts in Dallas as a volunteer in the Disaster Service Human Resources Department (DSHR). Price's mission was to help locate and reunite individuals lost during the crisis. The company, inspired by Price's need and willingness to help, gave him the time off to volunteer with pay.
"I felt complete shock and helplessness when I heard about the Sept. 11 tragedies," said Price, who as a former Red Cross volunteer, has also trained employees at ConferenceCall.com in first aid and CPR. "I felt that I had to do something and I was going to volunteer at the American Red Cross and put my past experience to work on my own time. I feel very fortunate to work for a company whose management allowed me to help the Red Cross in this time of crisis - and they did so with no questions asked and with pay."
