Professional Plastics to donate 5% of e-commerce proceeds to Hurricane Katrina victims

Fullerton, CA, August 31, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Professional Plastics, Inc. a supplier of plastic sheets, rods, tubing and film has pledged to donate 5% of all e-commerce proceeds during the month of September to the American Red Cross to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. According Chris Kietzke, a spokesman for the company, "Our employees deeply sympathize with the people affected by this terrible tragedy and we wanted to offer our assistance while encoraging others to do the same."

The company supplies various material which are commonly used in the aftermath of major disasters such as hurricanes, tornados and earthquakes. Products such as acrylic and polycarbonate sheets are used as transparent and impact resistant window coverings, while products like polyethylene film are used for protection and cleanup of debris. Other economical plastics such as PVC, polyethylene and polypropylene sheets are used as high-impact, water-resistant barriers, in an environment where traditional materials are no longer adequate. “We felt that it was important that as we serve these critical needs, we also find a way to give back to the affected families in the area.” states Kietzke. “We highly encourage all visitors to our site, to also visit the website of the American Red Cross and other organizations to provide direct assistance.”

Professional Plastics website contains links to reach more than 20 different charitable organizations that are working to help the victims. For more information visit Professional Plastics company website www.professionalplastics.com.
