Westgor Funeral Homes & Best Friends Work Together
Online, June 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The York Children's Foundation of Pittsburgh, PA, is pleased to announce that a grant in the amount of $250.0 has been awarded to the Best Friends of Neenah-Menasha. The organization was nominated by Westgor Funeral Homes, with locations in Neenah and Menasha, WI.
Sara Westgor, President of Westgor Funeral Homes, has stated that the funeral home will match the amount of the grant and make a donation to Best Friends of Neenah-Menasha in the amount of $250.00 as well. "We are proud to donate to such an amazing organization and help the children in our community receive the advantages of the fantastic opportunities that Best Friends can offer them."
The York Children's Foundation began January 1, 1992, as a joint project of The York Group of Pittsburgh, PA and the York Distributors Association. Each time a York casket is sold, and the funeral home returns a registration card, York and the distributor who sold the casket match donations to the foundation. Funeral Directors across the country nominate organizations who spend at least 50% of their time and resources helping children in their communities. Each quarter, a Board of Trustees, made up of funeral directors and distributors, select the most worthy nominees to receive the grants.
Since 1992, The York Children's Foundation has donated over $2.5 million in grants to over 800 organizations throughout the United States. Artco Casket Company, Inc. of Lenexa, KS, is the York Distributor who co-sponsored this nomination. The sales representatives of Artco Casket Company have assisted their customers and friends in obtaining over $538,000 in donations for organizations in the Midwest over the past nineteen years.
