Bolide has donated $2,000 to help the victims of the devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake in China’s Sichuan province. We sincerely thank our employees, friends and all the donors to their generous support.
Official figures state that 69,197 are confirmed dead, including 68,636 in Sichuan province, and 374,176 injured, with 18,340 listed as missing, but these figures may further increase as more reports come in. The earthquake left about 4.8 million people homeless, though the number could be as high as 11 million. It is the deadliest and strongest earthquake to hit China since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, which killed at least 240,000 people.
