Big Sandy Superstore Announces Results from its Charity Challenge Weekend

 
FRANKLIN FURNACE, Ohio - Oct. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- Big Sandy Superstore, headquartered in Franklin Furnace Ohio, is pleased to announce the results from its Charity Challenge Weekend, which took place from August 15th through August 19th 2014. The Charity Challenge Weekend included all 13 Big Sandy Superstore locations in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia as well as a wide range of local and national charities that participated and partnered in the event.

The innovative fundraising methodology, referred to as “Discounts for Donations”, allowed customers the opportunity to direct a donation to a charity of their choosing that had partnered in the event. Based on the donation amount, the customer would then receive a discount on their qualifying purchase from Big Sandy Superstore.

By the end of the 5 day event, Big Sandy Superstore’s Charity Challenge Weekend had raised almost $10,000 in total, with one charity receiving over $1,000. Recipients of customer directed donations included the American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity, and the American Heart Association, as well as many local charities throughout the Tri-State area. This year’s Charity Challenge Weekend follows in the footsteps of last year’s event, which also raised nearly $10,000 for partnered charities.

“After a fantastic event last year, we were thrilled to host another Charity Challenge Weekend to benefit the charities that give so much to our communities”, said Dan Evans, Director of Marketing for Big Sandy Superstore. He added, “Everyone at Big Sandy Superstore wants to express their appreciation to our customers for their generous donations and we’re looking forward to hosting future events for the purpose of giving back to the great causes that help so many people.”

Big Sandy Superstore is celebrating its 61st year in business, starting with the opening of its first store in Ashland, Kentucky in 1953. Since the opening of its first location, the company has grown to be one of the country’s “Top 50 Home Furnishings Retailers” with over 600 employees, an online store, and superstore locations in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia. In addition to offering a full inventory of home furnishings, Big Sandy Superstore offers wide varieties of brand name mattresses, appliances, and electronics.
