Physicians for Peace is pleased to announce the recent employee matching gift offered by TowneBank. The Chairman and CEO, G. Robert Aston, Jr., stated in his company announcement, "You don’t have to look far to see the devastation in Haiti. We have all watched the events unfold in the media and asked ourselves, “What can we do to help?” Many are quick to recall events like Hurricane Katrina, or even closer to home, Hurricane Isabel. It is heartbreaking to see the destruction and need at the center of the chaos."

The TowneBank Foundation will match employee gifts in support of Physicians for Peace, up to $7,500. TowneBank will be accepting employee and director donations through February 19, 2010 at which time they will match the donation and give the money to Physicians for Peace to continue their efforts in Haiti.

Thank you TowneBank and employees for showing extraordinary compassion when disaster strikes. Your contributions will support our Walking Free program in Haiti, and provide amputee victims of the earthquake the chance to take an active role in building Haiti’s future.
