No, smaller contributions are the ones they need. These big ones are nice and all, but like I said previously, this whole thing is going to cost 75 - 100b before its all said and done. If everyone in the US donated that same $50, you're talking almost 1.5b raised. Don't put down your contribution.
I'm looking at donating my income-post expenses from the month from myself and my company. Its going to be around 20k, just hope it can help a few people. I might wait a week or so though to see how organized things get before I donate. Right now everything seems like a cluster-f.

I did research. It's called DISNEY WAR. And I don't recall reading about Eisner being nice enough to donate, or being nice for that matter.

One book? And thats the extent of it? You're kidding. Yes, DisneyWar is a very good book. However, it is about the dealings inside TWDC. It doesn't go into anything about outside the company. Books only pertain to their subject matter. It would be stupid for a book about President Bush to talk about Disney, so why should a book about "inside Disney" talk about outside Disney?

It seems that at this day and age people forget others, Disney and Wal-mart have donated in the millions.
The US is the first country to help overseas, when we need help were are the ungrateful countries that we have helped. No were, yet they come here and benefit US entertainment. Just think of Disney giving the money from those countries for help. It may not seem a lot for multi-million dollar company, but they did not have to do anything.

I think it is great what everyone is doing to help the survivors of Katrina. I think this is going to be with us for a long time and if we can all pull together to help each other out then we can make it through.
As a side note, not nearly as impotant but it was on the local news today that Central Florida is running out of fuel. Orange County Schools have stopped supplying buses for Extra Cirricular activities and parents will prob have to start driving their children to school starting this Friday. With this they are also saying that all bus transportation could stop by this weekend including Mears (bus company that is used for transportation from the airport to Disney). Part of the story on www.wesh.com or www.wftv.com .

I got cut off at $45 dollars yesterday at the gas pump. 
(In Detroit) And my husband had some traveling to do, and said the one place he stopped in Toledo was completely out of 87 gas.

My dad's company did this with the tsunami, and I'm sure they're donating a large amount of cash, and then matching all employee's donations as well.

a Reminder
As a Hurricane Survivor (several in past years) Know first handed the devastation, the insecurity. So sometimes maybe we think just money helps. But Clothes, Food (can and others that doesn't need heating or refrigaration, Baby supplies (diapers, clothes, food) Medicine, Blankets. And eventually hands to rebuild.
