Clarkston, Mich. (November 4, 2024) — Chase Plastics announced the official kick-off of its annual holiday “Giving Card” campaign today. In its ninth year, the much-anticipated tradition allows one to nominate a charitable organization to receive a well-deserved donation of $2,500.
To participate, entrants can log onto https://chaseplastics.com/giving to nominate their favorite charity through December 13. The selected charity(ies) will be announced on https://chaseplastics.com/ and their social media pages on December 19. Chase Plastics will highlight various charitable organizations’ efforts on their social media pages throughout the campaign period to help raise awareness about them.
The act of giving has been synonymous with the Chase Plastics name, culture, and the plastics industry for decades. Since the launch of the Giving Card Campaign in 2016, the total number of charities nominated has topped 1,060. So, it is no surprise that — much like Chase Plastics — their customers and suppliers have equally big hearts and a passion for giving.
Since the start of the campaign, their generosity has led to donations totaling $57,000 to several charities across the country. It has also perpetuated the spirit of giving — something in which Chase Plastics strongly believes. They have made it an initiative to encourage volunteerism and increase awareness of charitable organizations by spotlighting various nominated charities on their Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn pages. “There are so many deserving organizations out there that could use our help,” Chase Plastics’ President, Adam Paulson, told us. “We are proud to spread the word about their work, provide resource information to those in need, and help the helpers this giving season.”
In addition to the Giving Card Campaign, Chase Plastics is excited to announce its commitment to fostering a culture of teamwork and philanthropy by designating November as “Giving November.” During the year, all employees are granted a paid day off to volunteer for the charity of their choice, and many of them use that day during the holiday season to give back to the community.
In addition to individual volunteer efforts, Chase Plastics is hosting several internal initiatives to support local organizations, including a collection drive for the Canine Companion Rescue Center, and a Thanksgiving Food Drive benefiting Lighthouse of Oakland County. During October, they launched a “Diva for a Day” fundraiser to support breast cancer research and announced company matching of employee donations to Samaritan’s Purse to assist victims of Hurricane Helene, to which they donated $7,280.
Throughout the year, Chase Plastics engages in fundraising activities, such as “Jeans Days” to raise money to adopt at least one local family in need during the holiday season, ensuring they receive gifts from their Christmas wish lists.
