DETAILS:

iHeartRadio is encouraging its listeners to donate much-needed funds to the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross response to Sandy is very large and will be very costly, as the hurricane affected a massive area spanning much of the eastern half of the country. Financial donations help the American Red Cross provide shelter, food, emotional support and other assistance to those affected by disasters like Hurricane Sandy. To donate, people can visit www.redcross.org, call 1-800-RED-CROSS or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
