Containment Solutions Helps Raise $400,000 for Underprivileged Children with Sheetz

May 31, 2012 - PRLog -- Mount Union, PA – June 1, 2012 Clay Findley, John Rabel, Scott Knake and Jay Wiedel of Containment Solutions, Inc. (CSI) helped raise an estimated $400,000 to provide Christmas presents for underprivileged children during the 14th Annual Sheetz Family Charities “For the Kidz” Golf Classic, which was held May 21 at Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, N.C.
Joe Montana, Hulk Hogan, Barry Sanders, Steve Largent and Bill Cowher led the list of celebrities who participated in the event, which also included appearances by ESPN football commentator Trey Wingo; Buffalo Bill Bruce Smith; Pittsburgh Steelers Jack Ham, Mel Blount, Mike Wagner and L.C. Greenwood; and Pittsburgh Pirates Rick Reuschel, Jim Rooker and Kent Tekulve.
The golf tournament is a major fundraising effort for the Sheetz Family Charities and benefits “For the Kidz,” the company’s Christmas program for underprivileged children. Started in 1992, “For The Kidz” was the first charity established by the Altoona, Pa.-based company. That year, Sheetz worked with the Altoona area Salvation Army to brighten Christmas for 12 deserving children. Today, hundreds of Sheetz employees across six states work with their local Salvation Army chapters to identify children who may need some help to have any Christmas at all. This year, more than 6,200 children are expected to benefit from the money raised from this tournament.
"The For the Kidz program is a wonderful charity that has enriched the lives of countless children. We were thrilled to play a role in this year's event and excited to see the record level of fundraising," says Clay Findley, President of CSI.
