According to a poll of Asian American Californians commissioned by New California Media, 70 percent [1] of those who responded made a contribution to the Southeast Asia tsunami relief effort; 64 percent donated money.

Only 33 percent of adults in the general population contributed to the relief effort, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.

I know here in the Bay Area there have been many fund-raising events held by Asian American organizations, so everyone who gave should be commended.
