"Search is the most
used activity on the Web. With over 20 million users every month, Ask Jeeves
felt we were in a good position to assist the Red Cross in its disaster
relief efforts. Now people can contribute just by going about their everyday
searching," said Steve Berkowitz, CEO of Ask Jeeves, Inc.

Cross relies on the support of people throughout the country to be able
to provide food, shelter and other services in times of crisis. Ask Jeeves
is offering their support at a time when the hurricanes have left thousands
in need. So, tell a friend. Tell a family member. Then start searching
and giving. Ask Jeeves has made it simple to make a difference in the lives
of others," said Skip Seitz, Senior Vice President of Growth and Integrated
Development for the American Red Cross.
