Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest technology
distributor and supply-chain services provider, today announced it
is launching a social media campaign with a goal of raising $10,000
for the American Red Cross. For every 'Like' it receives on the
Ingram Micro Facebook page, Ingram Micro will donate $1 to the Red
Cross, up to $10,000.
"Through social media, we've been able to engage with our
vendors, customers, resellers, associates, shareholders and the
general public on all things Ingram Micro, plus share the latest
technology trends and industry news," said Jo Bandy, senior
director, corporate communications, Ingram Micro Inc. "Being a good
corporate citizen is an important part of our culture, so it made
sense to help raise money through social media while increasing the
number of people with whom we engage. The great international
relief work the American Red Cross does makes them a perfect
fit."
The promotion runs from June 4 to June 29, 2012, and once it
concludes, Ingram Micro will present a check to the local American
Red Cross chapter, reflecting the total number of 'Likes' received
during the campaign. Funds raised will be designated to the
International Response Fund, which supports the victims of numerous
crises around the world each year, by providing immediate relief
and long-term support through supplies, technical assistance and
other needed support.
"We are honored that Ingram Micro selected the American Red
Cross to be the recipient of the funds raised through the company's
Facebook charity campaign," said Ty Woolworth, associate director
of development, American Red Cross. "Ingram Micro has supported the
America Red Cross for more than 10 years with disaster-relief
giving and we are pleased to work with a company that is so
dedicated to giving back to those in need."
In addition to raising money for the American Red Cross, if you
'Like' the Ingram Micro Facebook page, you can also choose to be
entered in to a sweepstakes to win one of four $100 American
Express Gift Cards.
