During a seven-week, employee-driven campaign, Furnitureland South associates utilized numerous fund-raising methods, including bake and yard sales, car washes, and donation cans dispersed at key locations. Several vendors donated lunch for employees, the sale proceeds of which also contributed to this highly successful effort. Raffle tickets for a variety of sensational prizes, including a Richard Petty Driving Experience at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, four tickets to the Bristol Nextel Race, and a four-day Caribbean cruise for two provided additional incentive for employees to participate in this especially significant project. Other appealing raffle items offered were a choice of either a bedroom or dining room suite from American Drew, a Lane recliner, a choice of a Spring Air mattress set, and Outback Steakhouse gift certificates. |
