In response to the recent tsunami devastation in South Asia and India, Dana Corporation has contributed $100,000 (U.S.) to the Red Cross International Response Fund to support the humanitarian relief and recovery efforts.

In addition, Dana will make a second contribution to the Red Cross by matching  employee and retiree donations made to registered charitable organizations through January 31, 2005 that support the tsunami relief efforts.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who were touched by this tragic event,” said Mike Burns, Dana Chairman and CEO.  “In the wake of this devastating tragedy, Dana Corporation, its employees and retirees are committed to helping with the recovery and rebuilding efforts in South Asia and India.  We hope that our contributions will help make a difference in the recovery process.”
