A message from C. Robert Brown, Sr., CLU, LUTCF, NAIFA President 2004-05:
The NAIFA federation grieves for the unprecedented loss and destruction Hurricane Katrina has caused throughout the Gulf Coast. Our concern for those affected by this crisis mobilizes us to take action.
NAIFA is coordinating with the MDRT Foundation to raise funds for the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund. Every dollar raised for this Fund will go to support the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, and Habitat for Humanity, which are providing medical care, food, clothing and shelter for those whose lives have been devastated by this disaster.
NAIFA has pledged to match contributions made by NAIFA members to the MDRT Foundation for the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund up to a total amount of $25,000. NAIFA will also match NAIFA national staff contributions to MDRT for this effort up to a total amount of $10,000.
All contributions should be made to the MDRT Foundation for the Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund. To ensure NAIFA's match, you must note on your check, or with your online contribution, that your contribution is being made as a NAIFA member or a member of the NAIFA national staff. Contributions can be made at the MDRT Foundation's website at www.mdrtfoundation.org or you can follow instructions at that site for contributions made by mail or fax.
As insurance and financial advisors, NAIFA members know better than most how crucial it is to help those facing unexpected disaster. Together, we can help lead the victims of this tragedy back towards a life of financial security and independence.
Thank you for reaching out to your fellow Americans in need.
