As you know a Category 4 tornado recently hit Joplin, Missouri, causing severe devastation. This tornado destroyed thousands of homes and hundreds of businesses. This disaster is being called one of the deadliest tornados ever to hit the United States and the town is in desperate need of assistance.
The Vatterott Campus in Joplin is intact, but many of its employees and students have suffered significant losses. We have established a fund at Commerce Bank to provide assistance to the impacted Vatterott-Joplin employees and students. Vatterott employees and students wishing to help can contribute to the fund and the Company will match 100% of the contributions.
You can contribute in one of two ways:
- A check payable to Vatterott College-Joplin Tornado Relief, sent to Vatterott Tornado Relief, P.O. Box 843220, Kansas City, MO 64184-3220
or
- A payroll deduction in a lump sum or over the next six pay periods. (Payroll deductions will begin on the June 10 paycheck
