Summersault donation encourages philanthropy to local not-for-profits
RICHMOND, IN – Summersault, LLC is pleased announce a community challenge donation of up to $4,300 through their sponsorship of the 2008 Alternative Gift Fair.
The 4th Annual Alternative Gift Fair, held this year on December 6, provides the community with the opportunity to shop for donations in lieu of physical gifts during the holidays. Shoppers can browse tables of local organizations in search of the perfect “gift” for their loved one. Gifts might include art supplies for an after school program, preservation of one acre of land, or conflict resolution training for a middle school classroom. The recipient receives a box with a beautiful bow and certificate explaining the donation.
In order to foster additional participation in this fun event that provides important financial support to multiple local organizations, Summersault will be contributing $20 each for the first 90 individual donors and $25 each for the next 100 individual donors, for a total possible contribution from Summersault of $4,300.Bring a friend, bring a neighbor and bring a co-worker! Summersault encourages the community to attend the Alternative Gift Fair and bring as many other donors as possible to assure that these deserving local organizations receive this entire sum. With this matching grant, one person’s $20 donation automatically becomes a $40 donation that benefits a Wayne County organization. Their friend or co-worker’s $20 donation may bring the organization $45!
“Last year’s Alternative Gift Fair was festive and brought in a record number of donations. The organizers did a great job of making it a lively event,” said Chris Hardie, Principal of Summersault, LLC. “This event also speaks to the importance of using our resources wisely and supporting our local community, values that are an integral part of Summersault’s corporate mission. We wanted to encourage more community members to participate, so we chose to deliver our gift to these organizations in a way that will propel even greater involvement this year.”
