LITITZ, Pa. — Susquehanna Bancshares, parent company of Susquehanna Bank, raised $40,000 by matching employee donations to four relief organizations that are working on recovery efforts in Japan: Save the Children, American Red Cross, World Vision and the International Medical Corps.
Susquehanna selected the four charities for its Japan relief campaign based on their reputation for providing immediate and long-term disaster relief, current efforts in response to the Japan earthquake and Pacific tsunami, and responsible stewardship of donated dollars.
Susquehanna’s match program ran from March 15 to 31. The company also sponsored a “Casual for a Cause” day on April 1, on which employees could donate $5 to the relief efforts in exchange for the opportunity to wear jeans to work.
