XM's live broadcast of "Tsunami Aid" is the latest initiative of "XM Nation: Operation Helping Hand," which XM started in September 2004 to raise money for disaster relief following the hurricane evastation in the southeastern U.S.
In response to the Asian tsunami disaster, XM is encouraging its listeners to donate much-needed funds to the American Red Cross International Response Fund through its web site and by phone at 1-800-HELP-NOW.
XM fans who make an online contribution of $50 or more to the American Red Cross International Response Fund will receive a special "XM Nation: Operation Helping Hand" wristband.
