On March 2 the small southern Indiana towns of Henryville, Chelsea and New Pekin were devastated by a cluster of EF-4 tornadoes packing winds of up to 200 miles per hour.
Draper employees passed the hat and donated $2500 to assist the victims of this terrible tragedy. Draper matched the employees’ contribution and mailed a check to the American Red Cross on March 9 in the amount of $5000.
Thanks to all Draper employees for your generous contributions to fellow Hoosiers in their time of need.

This is only 1 reason why I love working here!! Thank you Draper for matching our contribution.
I spearheaded the collection for this effort, and was surprised at how easy it was to get the employees to hand over their money. They knew it was a good cause, and were eager to donate. Not only was Draper extremely generous, but the employes from every department were more than willing to share with our neighbors. We all know it could have been us. A big THANKS to all the employees and to Draper for making it easier to help!
