That amounts to almost one-third of the donations \u2013 totaling at least $48 million \u2013 announced by corporations and their foundations by Friday afternoon. Besides donating cash to various relief groups, pharmaceutical companies and medical product makers were preparing or have sent products to treat injured people, as well as medicines for patients who had lost their supply. The industry typically offers such help after a major disaster. The charitable alliance Partnership for Quality Medical Donations said 10 members had pledged a total of $7.3 million worth of products and $4.6 million in cash. Some of those gifts have not yet been publicly disclosed, as details are still being finalized.
