"The response of USF employees to this tragedy has been heartwarming," said Bergmann. "Since I joined USF, I have been impressed by the generous nature of our employees and their willingness to help others. I am proud that USF has played a part in what the American Red Cross has called, 'one of the greatest demonstrations of compassion and support in its 124-year history'. My thanks go to all USF employees who participated in this effort."
