Constellation donates to Red Cross Japan relief

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - Constellation Energy announced that it has donated $50,000 through the Constellation Energy Foundation to the American Red Cross in support of relief efforts for the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

Additionally, Constellation Energy will match all employee donations to any qualified relief organizations through the companyÂ’s Matching Gifts program.

This donation continues the strong partnership between Constellation Energy and the American Red Cross. In 2010, the American Red Cross honored Constellation Energy with the Corporate Gift of Life Award for their continuous support through company sponsored blood drives and monetary donations.

The American Red Cross has made its resources available to assist their global partners in the Pacific nations as needed. The Japanese Red Cross Society currently has 11 teams mobilized to heavily damaged communities, providing assessments, first aid and much needed supplies.
