TNA and Spike TV issued the following statement from TNA President Dixie Carter this afternoon:
November 8, 2012
From the desk of Dixie Carter, president of TNA IMPACT WRESTLING:
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those who have been affected or
have felt the devastation of the recent and historic natural disaster
Hurricane Sandy. Like many of you, our family here at TNA
IMPACT WRESTLING has experienced the devastation first hand with some
of our wrestlers, their families and even our TV partner, SPIKE TV whose
offices are in Lower Manhattan, and their employees having been hit hard.
A few nights ago at dinner, a good friend of mine, Alli Simpson, was sharing
stories about the immense damage from the area on the Jersey Shore where she
grew up and where her family still lives. She was talking about the
helplessness she felt being so far away and the desire to do something to
make a difference. Within an hour, we had created the genesis for the TNA
MAKE AN IMPACT campaign that constitutes an array of outreach
opportunities.
Beginning today, YOU, TOO, can make an impact. We encourage you to visit
tnamakeanimpact.com,
like www/FACEBOOK.com/tnamakeanimpact, or follow @tnamakeanimpact on Twitter
to join us in our efforts to help spread this message, share your personal
stories, donate money or find out how to volunteer. We have created a "MAKE
AN IMPACT" collector T-shirt that you can purchase for $20.00 plus shipping
and handling by visiting
www.tnamakeanimpact.com or
www.shoptna.com.
ALL proceeds from your purchase will go to the American Red Cross aiding
the relief efforts. In addition in the coming weeks, many TNA IMPACT
WRESTLING superstars and other celebrities will be wearing the MAKE AN
IMPACT T-shirts then autographing them for auction on the website.
You can also make a $10 donation through your mobile phone by texting “RedCrossâ€
to 90999.
We encourage you to join us here at TNA IMPACT WRESTLING to MAKE AN IMPACT
in the wake of this disaster. We are a resilient country and we will
rebuild, it is the American way. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to
be with all of those affected by Sandy and its aftermath.
Sincerely,
Dixie Carter
President TNA IMPACT WRESTLING
