NRCA ESTABLISHES HURRICANE RELIEF FUND Rosemont, Ill.—The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) has established the Hurricane Katrina Roof Relief Fund with its charity partner Rebuilding Together, a volunteer organization that rehabilitates the houses of low-income, elderly and disabled homeowners. The fund will be used to provide new roofs in the regions affected by Hurricane Katrina. In addition, NRCA will contribute to other industry initiatives, which have not yet been determined, and conduct research to decide the best use of its funds. Contributions to NRCA's relief fund can be made to the National Roofing Foundation (NRF). Donations are tax-deductible, and contributions will be used exclusively to fund relief efforts. NRCA and NRF will cover all general and administrative costs. Checks can be mailed to the National Roofing Foundation, 10255 W. Higgins Road, Suite 600, Rosemont, IL 60018. Donations also can be made with a credit card by filling out a form found on NRCA's Web site, www.nrca.net. Letters from NRCA President Reid Ribble and NRCA Executive Vice President Bill Good with regard to Hurricane Katrina also can be found on NRCA's Web site. ###
