DisneyHAND's September 11 charities

In the days following September 11, it was Disney's sincere pleasure to help The Salvation Army reach out to the American public. If you would like to help them in their ongoing disaster relief efforts, log on to www.RedShield.org/Crisis or call them at 1-800-725-2769.

Along with supporting corporate volunteer initiatives, The Walt Disney Company partners with organizations such as the Entertainment Industry Foundation to sponsor the National Cardiovascular Research Initiative.  Through research and public awareness, this initiative will help prevent heart disease.

Our Commitment to the USO

The Walt Disney Company recently became a USO World Sponsor, supporting outreach and marketing efforts on behalf of the USO and its programs for military family support. Disney is providing more than $1 million in financial aid and in-kind support for the USO. Disney talent visited U.S. troops abroad in January, and the company has produced and featured a series of public service announcements focusing on how people can get involved in the war effort. In addition, Disney has donated several thousand videos to military bases through the USO and is providing a combination of first-run movies and library classics for the troops. ESPN The Magazine has distributed copies on USO tours. Disney's radio properties also provided support to the U.S. troops by partnering with the Voice of America and the Army Broadcasting Service to provide the two agencies with recorded holiday messages heard by U.S. troops stationed around the world.
