Zuckerberg gives 500,000 euros (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, August 29 - Facebook Italia will give 500,000 euros to the Italian Red Cross to help quake relief, FB founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg told students at Rome's private LUISS university Monday. He said the money would be in the form of "AD credits to the Red Cross that can be used on the Facebook platform to promote the most needed activities: fund raising, looking for volunteers, asking for blood donations, and getting in touch with people who need a place to stay". The 6.2-magnitide August 24 quake that hit central Italy killed at least 290 people and made thousands homeless.
