NEW YORK, NY - January 4, 2005 - US companies are rising to the call
of much needed relief for Tsunami victims, among them, The Coca Cola
Co. with Million, Exxon-Mobil Corp. with Million, The Bill &
Melinda Gates Foundation with a pledge of Million and Nike Inc.,
American Express Co., General Electric Co. at Million each. While
these companies are donating cash and vital supplies, other companies
are designating large portions of their total gross sales toward the
effort, bringing new definition to how the social responsibility of
business can be carried out.
Lounge Light USA is joining the effort, literally becoming a light
of hope by donating 30 percent of its online Lounge Light candle sales
for their participation. The product itself, the Lounge Light candle,
is a unique, free-standing pillar candle with a computer chip, battery
and LED in its base, resulting in a soft glow of changing colors from
deep within that complements the warmth of the burning candle.
Rand Davis, President and CEO of The Giving Art Group, Inc., handling
the Lounge Light sales in the US, said, "The
Lounge Light candle has been the number one gift item in Europe this
season and it is just getting started here in the US. I knew we
could take some of this heavy interest in the item and turn it into a
relief effort in and of itself. This is what we, as one American
company are doing, because we care."
Lounge Light USA pledges to donate 30% of the total sales price toward
the relief efforts through the international humanitarian organization
"CARE" for anyone who goes to the Lounge Light website to order one of
these truly innovative pieces, and enters in the code "RELIEF" in the
promotional code section.
When asked how this came about, Davis stated, "When something like
this takes place, you feel like you'd like to contribute in a big way
and if you can't, you'd feel frustrated. After taking a look at it, I
realized we could do something about it by using this model, and so we
set up shop to do so - to take an aesthetic item, a piece of beauty, and
use it for good. It seemed like the right thing to do."
To see the Lounge Light and bring a light of hope to those deeply in
need, visit the company's website at http://www.loungelightusa.com and enter in the
code "RELIEF" when placing your order. As Davis says, "We want to help bring a light of hope
through the contributions that we generate. This way, both we and our
customers will be helping to do our part."
