AT&T Announces $50,000 Grant to American Red Cross in Response to San Diego Fires.

SAN FRANCISCO -- In response to the fires in Southern California, the AT&T Foundation, the corporate philanthropy organization of AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), has announced a $50,000 grant to the American Red Cross to help with San Diego wildfire relief efforts.

The funds will be used to help Red Cross disaster workers provide food, shelter, emotional assistance and basic supplies to individuals and families in the San Diego area impacted by the fires.

"AT&T is not only working to ensure that critical communication channels continue to function during this difficult time, but they also have stepped up with this $50,000 contribution to the Red Cross to support other humanitarian relief efforts," said Ron Roberts, Chair of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. "We applaud AT&T and hope other area companies will join in to help those impacted by these fires."

"On behalf of the American Red Cross, we want to thank AT&T for this generous contribution to help members of the community impacted by these devastating fires," said Joe Craver, American Red Cross CEO, San Diego/Imperial Counties. "The needs of those impacted by the fires will be long-lasting, and the Red Cross will be dependent on contributions from area communities."

"The importance of contributions from area corporations to support relief efforts can't be overstated as we battle what appear to be the largest fires in the history of the state," said San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders. "We need more area companies to join AT&T in providing critical funding and other resources during this difficult time."

"We're pleased to be able to make this initial contribution to the Red Cross to help their relief efforts," said Mark Leslie, AT&T vice president for External Affairs, San Diego. "AT&T and its employees have a long-standing tradition of assisting communities during natural disasters. We know it's important to start early with support efforts and that recovery from this fire will require significant resources. AT&T wants to do its part for San Diego and the communities where we live and work."
