Throughout
the year PLI participates in fundraising activities raising money for Eblen
Charities. In 2011, PLI raised $3,250 for the Eblen Foundation. In 2012, PLI managed to raise over $4,500 for the 2012 Eblen Foundation Saint Nickolas Project, an increase by
more than $1,250 from the year before. The Saint Nickolas Project provides
Christmas gifts, clothes, food, and other items to the children and families Eblen Charities work with throughout the year.
PLI sponsored
seven families and 23 children for the project. PLI employees take the
initiative to have bake sales, conduct raffles, prepare chili cook offs, and
even had a Halloween themed fundraiser where employees were held “captive” and
other employees had to pay their bounty to get them released.
Giving back
to the local community is not only rewarding for the charity recipients but
builds camaraderie, teamwork and character within PLI.
