Sealy, Old Dominion sponsor donation challenge
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, January 27, 2008
Trinity, N.C. — Sealy employees once again played a major role in leading the drive to restock The Salvation Army's local food pantries.
The employees joined area businesses in their support of the Corporate Holiday Challenge and the Sealy/Fox8 Holiday Concerts.
The sixth annual Corporate Holiday Challenge, led by Sealy, Fox8/WGHP and Old Dominion Freight Line, wrapped up in mid-December, breaking several of the event's previous records. This year, 33 companies accepted the challenge and more than 384,644 items were donated, both new records.
"The Corporate Holiday Challenge has become a Triad tradition that we look forward to each year," said Dave McIlquham, chairman and CEO of Sealy. "Our employees are passionate about this initiative because it helps strengthen the communities where we live and work."
Sealy employees donated more than 219,000 items in this year's challenge.
Old Dominion has helped sponsor the Corporate Holiday Challenge for five years. This year, its employees donated more than 114,000 items to the cause and drivers volunteered their time to transport the food.
"It is a privilege to work with a group of people who place such a high value on making a positive impact in the lives of those in need," said David Congdon, president and chief operating officer of Old Dominion.
