ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- It's the largest local donation yet to the American Red Cross Japan earthquake relief efforts. And it comes from a Stateline company whose headquarters are in Japan.

Rocknel Fastener leaders presented a check for over $20,000 to the Rock River Chapter of the Red Cross today. The donation was a combined gift from employees and a corporate match. Rocknel Fastener is a manufacturer of cold formed fasteners for automotive and commercial applications. The Rockford company is a subsidiary of Meira Corporation in Japan.
