Fund set up for crash victims' families

Advertiser Staff

The Coast Guard Foundation has established the Family Disaster Relief Fund to provide emergency assistance to the families of the helicopter crew who crashed last night.

Any donations received from anyone in Hawai'i and from the Hawaii Dinner Committee fundraiser will be used only to support the families of those four crewmen, the foundation said in a news release.

Donate at www.cgfdn.org. Contributions may also be sent to the Coast Guard Foundation Office, 394 Taugwonk Road, Stonington, CT 06378. Make reference on the check's memo line or include a note indicating the Family Disaster Relief Fund.
