GULF COAST IKE RELIEF FUND Receives Donations from Houston Astros and Reliant Energy
Mayor Bill White has established a relief fund to help fill unmet human needs for victims of Hurricane Ike in Houston, and Harris and Galveston Counties and other affected areas. Reliant Energy and the Houston Astros have announced gifts of $1 million each to the Fund.
The Fund is being administered by Albert Myres, senior vice president at Reliant Energy, with fundraising and distribution overseen by a special citizens advisory board. The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund is modeled after the successful Katrina/Rita fund, which was also managed for the region by Myres.
The Fund is now accepting donations and is assessing humanitarian needs. People are asked to mail donations to the mailing address below or donate online at www.ghcf.org.
