Help Survivors of the Japan Quake & Tsunami

An 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan early morning on March 11, approximately 250 miles northeast of Tokyo, sparking a tsunami that caused major destruction in northern Japan. According to news reports, the death and injury tolls could exceed 10,000. The area remains on alert due to powerful aftershocks, which may last for days.

In order to put our concerns into action, we have created a company fund through Network for Good that will match employee contributions to aid those affected. Time Warner will match individual employee donations dollar for dollar up to the division’s pre-existing match limit. Time Warner will also pay the administrative fees for these donations so 100% of employee donations will go directly to the American Red Cross.

Time and again, our Time Warner colleagues have responded with tremendous generosity when faced with the suffering and loss caused by natural disasters.

Time Warner employees generously donated almost $200,000 to support the relief efforts to aid those effected by the Japan tsunami and earthquake. Please note, the employee matching component of this campaign closed at 12PM ET on April 15, 2011.
