MEDIA ALERT
Schneider to Sponsor Red Kettle Match Day
Company Matching Donations up to $10,000
For Immediate Release December 7, 2018
GREEN BAY – On Saturday, December 8, Schneider will support The Salvation Army’s Christmas Campaign by matching Red Kettle donations up to $10,000.
The match will provide a needed boost to the social service organization’s annual Christmas campaign, which is trying to reach their $1.25 million goal.
“Because Schneider believes in improving the communities where its associates live, work and volunteer, the Salvation Army’s efforts align perfectly with our company values,” said LuEllen Oskey, Schneider Foundation Director. “Plus, many of our associates volunteer as bell ringers, so we see this matching donation as a great way to double their efforts.”
To ensure the match is met, The Salvation Army relies on volunteer bell ringers stationed at their Red Kettles. There are approximately 3,900 one-hour shifts still available this season. The Salvation Army National Headquarters estimates that one hour of bell ringing can raise enough money to serve 13 hot meals to those in need. To volunteer to ring bells, call 920-884-3077.
