Sarasota, Florida (PRWEB) June 21, 2011

While the weather continued to wreak havoc on families across the globe over the last several months, Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman launched an employee giving campaign, which has raised close to $ 95,000 for ShelterBox USA.

ShelterBox USA is the U.S. affiliate of ShelterBox, an international disaster relief organization that provides shelter and life-saving equipment to disaster survivors worldwide.

?We are grateful for their employees? generosity and commitment to our mission,? added Sperling. ?With their help, we?ll be able to continue helping families rebuild their lives after losing everything in a disaster.?
