Haiti Earthquake Relief

Well done!  Just as we expected, ERIE’s Employees and Agents rose to the challenge.  In the wake of last month’s disaster in Haiti, ERIE made a pledge to match Employee and Agent contributions, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000 to the American Red Cross through our “Serving Together” partnership.  

Through your generosity, ERIE was able to donate $234,782 to the American Red Cross in support of Haiti relief efforts.  In addition to our corporate donation of $50,000, we matched the $92,391 donated by Employees and Agents.  “We’re grateful for the generosity of community partners like Erie Insurance,” said Pam Masi, executive director of the Erie Chapter of the American Red Cross.  “With your help we’re making an immediate difference in Haiti.”

While our agency may not be “on the ground” dealing with the devastation in Haiti, we’re proud to be a part of the effort to provide financial aid to those less fortunate than us. While the news coverage diminishes, let’s not forget the struggle for basic needs that continues in that country.
