million. All donations for the Gulf Coast Relief Telethon will go to
the following three charity organizations:

HELPING COMMUNITIES with UNITED WAY

United Way is offering help to the families along the Gulf that are
facing financial, educational and health-related challenges as a
result from the economic disruption from this Oil Spill. The United
Way Gulf Recovery fund will provide emergency assistance, such as help
with food, rent and utilities, and support long-term recovery efforts
to rebuild these lives and these communities. www.unitedway.org/gulfrecovery

SAVING WILDLIFE with THE NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION

The National Wildlife Federation Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund
supports efforts to find and save oiled wildlife, and help recover
their delicate ecosystems that make up their nesting and breeding
grounds. www.nwf.org

RESTORING THE GULF with THE NATURE CONSERVANCY

In response to the Gulf Coast oil spill, The Nature Conservancy has
launched their Fund for Gulf Coast Restoration, expanding their
efforts for long term recovery for the Gulf of Mexico and habitats
along the coast, including salt marshes, oyster reefs, marshlands,
beaches and estuaries. www.nature.org
