Did You Know

...that the Howard Association in Norfolk, Virginia, formed during the 1855 Yellow Fever Epidemic received contributions and volunteers from the gulf coast areas of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana? In September, 2005, even as Hurricane Ophelia was approaching and threatened Hampton Roads, the group sent a check for $50,000 to the Greater Baton Rouge Area Foundation in Louisiana to help with Hurricane Katrina recovery.

As requested, the blurb was condensed to:

In 1855 the Howard Association of Norfolk, Virginia received contributions during the Yellow Fever Epidemic from the U.S. Gulf Coast areas and that 150 years later, they sent $50,000 of leftover funds to Louisiana to help with Hurricane Katrina relief?
