charitable initiatives to help victims of the September 2017 hurricanes —
Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria. Additionally, the fund will
now also envelop victims of the recent shooting in Las Vegas. In the
course of rebuilding lives disrupted by these devastating events, there
are immediate needs and there also will be long-term needs. This fund
will strategically support both as they emerge.
