The Label Printers Gives Back


The Label Printers, Aurora, Ill., donated to the "Shop With A Cop" program. The company raised $4,600, which will allow 40 to 50 children to participate in Shop With A Cop. The donations came from a number of activities chosen by The Label Printers' employees, including cash contributions, a bake sale (with donated items made by and sold to TLP employees), a silent auction of employee donated items, a raffle, and a company match of two times the funds raised by employees.

Bill Kane, CEO of The Label Printers (who donated a highly prized "Lunch for 4 with Bill" to the raffle) said, "We believe in giving our employees the support that they need to make contributions to our community. The Label Printers is pleased to be able to make a donation to such a worthwhile program."

George Tommasi, director of human resources, said "The FOP Lodge #14 representative that I spoke with told us that the past few years have been difficult for donations, with this year being especially tough. The Label Printers' contribution will help many needy children and was greatly appreciated by the FOP"

Whether it was making or buying baked goods, contributing items to the raffle or auction, or buying raffle tickets and bidding on the auction items, every employee at The Label Printers was involved in this effort. Lori Campbell, chief operations manager of the company pointed out that The Label Printers is committed to giving employees the space and support they need to be good corporate citizens. "All we have to do is encourage them to come up with ideas and give them the incentive to implement those ideas successfully. We're all very proud of the thought and effort that went into this fundraiser; if you couldn't find something to do to be a part of it, you weren't looking very hard."
