In the early morning hours of Friday, March 26th, a devastating tornado struck the town of Newnan, Georgia, home to Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Company and where many of the factory employees and their families live.
Shortly after, Yamaha Motor executives offered a 200% matching fund for all employee donations to put towards relief efforts. Last week, Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of America staff turned over a check in the amount of $50,760 directly to the Coweta Community Foundation Tornado Relief program.
To date, the fund has helped 80 families with a portion of their homeowners/renters/auto insurance deductibles, as well as provided a grant to a local nonprofit to continue their efforts to provide assistance. Total tornado relief efforts have helped 255 families and funded eight nonprofit grants focused on Tornado Recovery assistance.
