UnitedHealth Group Donates $1 Million to Sandy Relief

UnitedHealth Group is donating $1 million to support relief efforts for New York and New Jersey communities devastated by Hurricane Sandy.

The donation will largely support state government-led relief efforts in both states, including the New Jersey Relief Fund established by Gov. Chris Christie and his wife Mary Pat Christie, as well as Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s relief efforts in New York.

In addition, the company had previously launched an internal drive encouraging its 100,000 employees to donate to the American Red Cross Relief Fund for Hurricane Sandy and has pledged to match all employee donations through the end of November.
