Christian Brothers Services Raises
Money for LaSalle Institute in Haiti
Romeoville, IL, Jan. 25, 2010 - Employees from Christian Brothers Services in Romeoville, Illinois opened their hearts and wallets to help the victims of Haiti’s earthquake. A little over a week after tragedy struck, CBS employees rallied to raise more than $6,000 by organizing a jeans day and baked goods sale.
On Friday, January 22, employees paid a $5 fee to wear jeans to work. That same day many employees brought in baked goods, including pies, cakes, brownies, breads and cupcakes to sell to their fellow associates. “The opportunity to help the victims in Haiti was one I could not pass up,” relates underwriter Nancy Bedore, “baking items for the bake sale allowed me to feel as though I was contributing to the relief effort.”
In less than an hour, the bake sale was sold out. Employees came ready to buy and donate. As office services manager Tami Miller tells it, “People were buying anything and everything and then donating the change to the relief fund. It was simply amazing!”
All of the money raised from jeans day contributions, the baked goods sale, and donations went to the Brothers of the Christian Schools Haiti Emergency Relief Fund. “Once again, the staff at Christian Brothers Services showed their compassion by raising money for our fellow Lasallians in Haiti,” states Brother Michael Quirk, FSC, President/CEO of Christian Brothers Services, “all of the earthquake victims in Haiti are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
