San Francisco Examiner: Business

San Francisco Examiner: Business: "Bobbi Silten took on her new role as chief of the Gap Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the San Francisco clothing retailer, just one week after Hurricane Katrina hit.

“My transition has been a rather rapid one,” said Silten, who set aside her first-week plans in order to dive right in to relief efforts.

Gap Inc. (GPS) donated to the American Red Cross, sponsoring a double match for employee contributions. In addition, the company helped 1,300 employees displaced by the Hurricane in Louisiana and Mississippi with pay, housing, clothing and job-placement assistance."
