The South Atlantic and Gulf Coast District of the International Longshoremen’s Association have donated $250,000 to ILA’s Hurricane Sandy Fund.
Clyde Fitzgerald, president of the district, which includes port areas from North Carolina to Miami, as well as the entire Gulf Coast, made the donation to ILA President Harold J. Daggett.
Fitzgerald said he hopes the money will ease the financial burden of those ILA members in the Greater Metropolitan area who suffered losses from Hurricane Sandy. “Those of us in the South and Gulf areas are certainly no strangers to the destruction that can be caused by hurricanes,” he said in a written statement.
