Fans Donate $65,000 to NW Medical Teams for Tsunami Relief
1/3/2005
The Seahawks weren’t the only winning team at Qwest Field on Sunday. Seattle fans and Northwest Medical Teams collected more than $65,000 during the Seahawks/Falcons game to assist NWMT in their relief work in Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Representatives of Northwest Medical Teams were joined by 60 volunteers from Qwest Communications to accept donations in the effort to help those suffering from the effects of the deadly tsunami.
When combined with contributions from Seahawks & Atlanta teams and coaches, the total amount raised was over $165,000.
When the Seahawks host the Rams at 1:30 p.m. this Saturday, Northwest Medical Teams will again be there to accept monetary donations to help them get medical supplies to the stricken areas of south Asia. More than 96% of gifts given to NWMT go directly to the field.
