Prophet 21 employees will donate more than $27,000 to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, more than 125 Prophet 21 employees chose to make contributions to the fund directly from their Oct. 1 paychecks. Within one week, they raised $8,506.

"Everyone wants to help with the recovery and rebuilding efforts," said Chuck Boyle, president and CEO of Prophet 21. "Since we cannot all go to New York or Washington to physically do the work that needs to be done, we wanted to make a financial contribution."

Robert Half International Inc. (RHI) is expected to match all of the money raised by Prophet 21 and its employees. RHI announced on September 14 that it would match donations to the American Red Cross made by its employees, clients and temporary professionals, up to a total of $1 million. Prophet 21 is a client of Accountempts, a division of RHI.
