Allied Wire & Cable continues its holiday
CharityWeek tradition, raising$18,629.65 for
the Humane Society and the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Each year, a percentage
of all sales during the designated Charity
Week are donated to worthy causes and
2013, its eighth charity week, was the most
successful so far.
Allied Wire & Cable owner Tim Flynn
considers the week to be one of the
highlights of the company’s year,
and a wonderful opportunity to work
with customers on giving back to the
community. According to Flynn: “There is
no greater joy than helping those that are
less fortunate. The Allied family is proud to
be part of raising close to $20,000 to help
assist two great causes. A big thank you
also goes out to our amazing customer
base. Without them none of this would
have been possible.”
This year, the Humane Society received
$9,214.83 to support its work on behalf of
both domestic animals and wildlife through
shelters, rehabilitation programs and legal
advocacy.
In addition to furthering its work with animal
welfare organizations, Allied continued to
build its relationship with the Make-A-Wish
Foundation. Allied Wire & Cable presented
a final check of $9,414.83, thanks to a
special $200 donation from vendor Rowe
Industries. Allied has a long history with
Make-A-Wish, which has been the main
beneficiary of many Charity Weeks over
the years.
Best week yet!
