Heard something about it.........Q wants our donations - are they matching our amount?

Is QVC matching donations? I don't see where they state that they will match.

@Puppy Lips Mary Beth Roe mentioned it this AM. I do not think she was boasting.

According to their Twitter account they donated $50,000.00

No mention of a match just $50,000.00 and a link to the red cross site

$50,000 is just a pittance to an organization like QVC and hardly generous. I'm sure they spend more than that on the CEO's Christmas party.

It's a tax deduction and they get attention for this

@Kachina624 seriously? Assuming you're right that 50,000 is a pittance, then we ought to be seeing some much larger "pittances" from the many companies several times larger than qvc. No question there is extreme need!

$50k seems like a fair amount. I don't know if they could have afforded more. But they know the game: no good deed goes unpunished.

There is no mention they intend to match. So, personally I don't get how they are "helping" with their funds -- there is no mention of Quarate donation amount either.

I don't watch QVC or HSN regularly so I can't say MaryBeth was given inaccurate info.

This appears at the top of the main Q page and if you click it takes you to donation area for the Red Cross.

QVC donated $50,000.

HSN also donated $50,000.

I think that these donations are quite generous.

No corporation is ever required to donate a specific formulaic amount based upon some random metric.

Thank you Qurate for your aid and generosity.

Tax deductible and they can well afford it.
