Two months after Hurricane Maria struck the U.S. territory, more than half of the island remains without power, tens of thousands of jobs have been washed away, thousands of small businesses remain closed and some hospitals remain on emergency generators, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>To help, ASI pledged $25,000 to match cash contributions given to specific charitable organizations earmarked for people in Texas and the Gulf, and another $10,000 to match contributions given to organizations helping residents of the islands.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, dozens of companies throughout the promotional products industry organized their own fund drives, sending money and shipping truckloads of donated goods to impacted areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t be more proud of the way the promotional products industry responded when the call for help went out,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. \u201cThanks to generous donors, hundreds of thousands of people who lost everything received money, shelter, clothing, first-aid supplies, school supplies \u2013 the list goes on. At this very special time of year, it\u2019s wonderful to be reminded that we care \u2013 for our neighbors, colleagues and clients, and for strangers we\u2019ll never meet. We are indeed part of an extraordinary community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The money ASI matched benefited the American Red Cross, Save the Children\u2019s Hurricane Maria Children\u2019s Relief Fund, Houston Food Bank and the Coastal Bend Food Bank of Corpus Christi, Texas. To be counted in ASI\u2019s fund drive, donors emailed receipts showing their contributions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>About ASI<\/strong><br \/>The<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.asicentral.com\/\" title=\"Click here for more info on ASI\">Advertising Specialty Institute<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>(ASI<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>) serves a network of 23,500 suppliers, distributors and decorators in the $23 billion promotional products industry.
