As the packaging and processing industry continues support for PMMI’s campaign for hurricane aid, the Bosch Community Fund raised the bar today, pledging $50,000 to relief efforts atwww.pmmi.org/we-care. In addition to the donation link, funds raised through the annual PACK gives BACK event, featuring the legendary rock and roll band the Doobie Brothers, will also go to the American Red Cross to aid in relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Harvey and Irma in 2017.
“鉴于两hurri的毁灭性影响canes, our industry has opened their hearts and checkbooks to aid recovery in Houston and Florida. Since announcing this year’s proceeds will go to hurricane relief, ticket sales to PACK gives BACK have soared,” said Chuck Yuska, CEO, PMMI. “With such widespread damage, the need for donations is greater than ever. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by these deadly storms, including PMMI members, customers and their families.”
PMMI is proud to report donations of nearly $90,000 through its web link alone, with more coming in every day. But more is needed to support the efforts of the Red Cross in aiding the victims of these disasters. PMMI will have donation stations set up at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO 2017 (Sept. 25-27, Las Vegas Convention Center) and will continue efforts to raise money viawww.pmmi.org/we-care.
“We at Bosch are very supportive of efforts to help propel the recovery, following the extensive destruction of these two hurricanes,” said Mike Mansuetti, president of Robert Bosch LLC. “We are grateful to PMMI for matching donations, which allows Bosch’s contribution to go even further to assist the American Red Cross’s relief efforts.”
