GM fund donating $100K to Haiti relief effort

DETROIT — General Motors Corp.’s charitable arm is donating $100,000 to the American Red Cross to help earthquake-ravaged Haiti, the automaker said Wednesday.

GM also has provided a direct web-link that its employees can access from their desktop work stations to contribute personally to the Red Cross disaster fund.

Thousands are feared dead in the quake, which toppled buildings and trapped untold numbers of people.

The GM Foundation was created in 1976.
