ICE & IPE Contribute $100,000 To Aid Red Cross In Tsunami Relief Effort

IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) and the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) today contributed $100,000 to the American Red Cross International Response Fund. The International Response Fund is providing immediate support to the victims of the December 26 tsunami. Charitable contributions being made by the IPE’s floor broker community will be matched as part of the contribution.

“Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and those involved with the ongoing relief effort in this tragedy,” said Jeffrey C. Sprecher, ICE’s Chairman and CEO. “As a member of the global energy community, we believe it is our responsibility to contribute to the restoration of health, safety and environment regardless of where urgent humanitarian needs may exist.”
