Rent-to-own News - D&H Donates to Japanese disaster relief

Computer and consumer electronics distributor D&H Distributing announces it will donate 1% of its US and Canadian sales from products by Japanese-based vendors this Thursday and Friday (March 17 to 18) to The American Red Cross for relief efforts associated with the March 11 tsunami and earthquake.

The amount of this donation is estimated to reach tens of thousands of dollars, based on average sales.  Vendors include Brother, Buffalo, Canon, Casio, Epson, Fuji, JVC, Konica, Nikon, Nintendo, Olympus, Optoma, Panasonic, Ricoh, Sharp, Toshiba, Yamaha and more.

D&H has maintained close, often decades-long relationships with a roster of manufacturers headquartered in Japan, which has made both the executives and the staff very sensitive to the challenges faced by that country in the wake of these events.

D&H personnel also plan to devote the efforts of “D&H Cares,” the company’s employee-run charity foundation, to Japanese relief funds as a supplement to the distributor’s corporate contribution.

“We are dedicated to seeing the success of Japan as it rebuilds its homes and facilities.  Their contribution to the high-tech industries has been immeasurable,” said Dan Schwab, co-president at D&H Distributing. 

Individuals who would like to donate to the American Red Cross can do so here.
