    Published: Aug 31, 2007


    WASHINGTON, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Hellenic Educational
    Progressive Association (AHEPA), the leading association for the
    nation's 1.3 million American citizens of Greek ancestry, and
    Philhellenes, announced the creation of a coalition effort to raise
    emergency relief funding for those affected by the recent rash of
    wildfires throughout Greece. The coalition currently consists of the
    following national ethic organizations: Armenian Americans - The
    Armenian National Committee of America Italian Americans - The National
    Italian American Foundation Jewish Americans - B'nai B'rith
    International Serbian Americans - Serbian Unity Congress

    These organizations are asking their members to make tax deductible
    donations through the AHEPA website (www.ahepa.org) into a special
    "Emergency Greek Fire Relief Fund." 100% of the proceeds will go
    directly to the people of Greece.

    AHEPA calls on all Americans to join this effort and join the coalition
    today. For additional information about AHEPA, how to join the
    coalition or to speak to AHEPA's International President, please call
    AHEPA Headquarters at 1-202-232-6300.

    AHEPA is the largest Greek-American association in the world with
    chapters in the United States, Canada, Greece, Cyprus, and sister
    chapters in Australia and New Zealand. It was established in 1922 by
    visionary Greek Americans to protect Hellenes from prejudice
    originating from the KKK, and in its history, AHEPA joined with the
    NAACP and B'nai B'rith International to fight discrimination.

    The mission of the AHEPA family is to promote the ideals of Hellenism,
    education, philanthropy, civic responsibility and family and individual
    excellence. Available Topic Expert(s): For information on the listed
