Nov 12, 2012 @ 4:48 pmMichael Kors is the latest big name to sign on to help those devastated by Hurricane Sandy. The celebrity-loved designer has pledged $1 million to the relief effort, according to an announcement the Project Runway judge posted on his blog, Destination Kors. “We are a company based in New York, inspired every day by the energy and beauty of our great city,” the statement said. “The tragedy that Hurricane Sandy has left behind may seem insurmountable, but together, we can all pitch in and help those in need.” Kors will gift the money to The American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, which is currently working around the clock to provide food, water, and other supplies to those in need due to storm damage and loss. His donation follows Lady Gaga‘s $1 million pledge and Coach‘s $2 million contribution. Find out how you can help by visiting redcross.org.

-shanas2sense on November 13th, 2012New York and New Jersey hit home to so many people, it truly is a major community in the United States. This becomes more and more apparent with all the major donors to the Sandy Relief Funds. Hurricane Sandy caused 50 Billion dollars in damages to the Tri State and it’s comforting to see people of all walks of life come together to restore, rebuild, and revive “the energy and beauty of our great city” as stated by Mr. Kors himself.
