Kia America Makes Generous Donation to Aid Los Angeles Wildfire Victims
In a significant effort to assist those impacted by the raging wildfires in Los Angeles, Kia America has announced a generous donation of $250,000 to the American Red Cross. This contribution aims to support essential relief efforts for the victims affected by the devastating fires that have been actively threatening the region.
Seungkyu (Sean) Yoon, the President and CEO of Kia North America and Kia America, emphasized the company's deep commitment to supporting communities in times of crisis. He stated, 'As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to affect families and neighborhoods, we are teaming up with the American Red Cross to provide vital aid to those impacted. With this $250,000 donation, we hope to offer relief, resources, and a sense of hope to those in dire need.'
In addition to this substantial donation, Kia is also extending financial support to eligible customers affected by these disasters. This includes a cash rebate of $1,000 on certain new 2024-2025 Kia models. Customers are encouraged to reach out to their local Kia dealerships for more details, as specific restrictions may apply.
Furthermore, Kia Finance is providing relief solutions for customers who are directly affected by the wildfires or reside in designated evacuation areas. Affected individuals can contact Kia Finance at 866-331-5632 for more information regarding assistance programs.
The American Red Cross plays a crucial role in disaster management, providing shelter, food, and comfort to victims, while also supplying about 40% of the country’s blood supply. Additionally, the organization teaches life-saving skills, provides humanitarian support overseas, and assists veterans and military families. As a nonprofit entity, the American Red Cross relies on the generosity of the American public and the commitment of volunteers to fulfill its mission.
