Roofing Distributor Challenges Industry to Donate to Hurricane Katrina Relief

by Julia Montgomery Stewart

TAMPA, Fla. (PRWEB) September 4, 2005 -- After donating $100,000 to the Red Cross and pledging to match Red Cross donations made by their more than 2,000 customers, Suncoast Roofers Supply has challenged the entire roofing industry to open up their pockets and help victims of Hurricane Katrina.

“It is no secret that the roofing industry has financially benefited from the major storms over the last few years. Now, more than ever before, it is time for us to open up our pockets and help those who have lost everything,” said Bill Tamayo, Suncoast Roofers Supply president.

In a notice to more than 2,000 customers, Suncoast pledged to match 100-percent of every donation, up to $100,000 each, that customers make to the American Red Cross hurricane disaster relief fund. “Many of our customers were part of the hurricane recovery last year in Florida and they know what it is like on both a personal and professional level,” said Tamayo. “We hope this offer to them, and the challenge to the entire roofing industry, will get everyone working together to help rebuild the lives of the victims.”

To donate to the Red Cross, visit www.redcross.org or call 1-800-HELP-NOW. Suncoast customers can donate to the matching fund through October 1, 2005 by contacting the Suncoast Roofers Supply headquarters in Tampa, Fla.
