| "So many of our associates emailed us with their concerns for the families impacted by Hurricane Katrina," says Kathleen Leen, Director of Corporate Services for Benefitfocus.com. "We contacted the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and Trident United Way, and this was the first project that came up where we could make a direct impact. We’re also researching ways to help support displaced families as they are being transferred to the Charleston Air Force Base."
