Our hearts go out to all those impacted by this tragedy. We have employees, customers and vendors who have been directly impacted and we want to help the recovery in a significant way
Dave McIlquham, Sealy CEO

Sealy has made a commitment of $1 million in cash and product donations to the American Red Cross to support the disaster relief efforts of Hurricane Katrina. Given the immense devastation and toll on human lives, Sealy believes the combination of immediate cash relief as well as products will provide aid to the area. CEO Dave McIlquham said, "Our hearts go out to all those impacted by this tragedy. We have employees, customers and vendors who have been directly impacted and we want to help the recovery in a significant way."

In addition to the $1 million contribution, Sealy has formed a fundraising challenge with employees across its domestic operations and will continue to collect donations through September 16. Long-term, Sealy is working in concert with the American Red Cross, our plants, vendors and suppliers to determine the best way to support the relief efforts and provide needed assistance to neighbors in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida and surrounding areas.

Our thoughts go out to the families and communities who have lost loved ones, homes and businesses. For additional information on how you can help with disaster relief, please visit http://www.redcross.org.
