Local engineering firm winds up hurricane relief efforts
For immediate release

Raleigh, NC – Employees of S&ME, a local engineering and environmental services firm have recently reached into more than just their pocketbooks to help gulf coast relief efforts and local charitable organizations.

In September, S&ME President John Browning asked S&ME employees companywide to donate blood to the American Red Cross after hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit the gulf coast.

“I wanted S&ME as a company to give more than just money to help provide relief to the people who were affected by these storms,’ said Browning.

To encourage employees to donate blood, Browning promised that S&ME would donate $50 for every pint donated to the Red Cross. For those employees who could not give blood, S&ME also matched any money employees donated to the Red Cross and other relief organizations.

Employee blood donations and other contributions ended up totaling a little under $10,000. With a matching corporate gift of $10,000 to the American Red Cross, S&ME’s total gift to the gulf coast relief efforts totaled almost $20,000.
