OMAHA, Neb. - Mar. 5, 2010: Gordmans, Inc., an Omaha-based apparel and home fashions retailer, raised $105,000 during a three-week campaign to support American Red Cross relief efforts for victims of the Haitian earthquake disaster.
"Gordmans initiated this campaign to allow our guests and associates to easily make a contribution to aid the victims of this unprecedented tragedy," said Jeff Gordman, president and CEO. "Our guests and associates have traditionally been very generous in giving back to the communities in which they live and work through their strong support of the many fundraisers conducted by our Company over the past several years."
Gordmans guests purchased paper "Helping Hands" at the checkouts of each of the 66 stores throughout its 16 state trade area for $1 each. Associates made personal contributions to the campaign via payroll deduction, cash or check, and Gordmans also made a contribution. All monies collected were donated to the American Red Cross Haitian relief effort.
