GWD and It's Retail Partners Raised $1000.00 for St. Jude




This past October, thousands of retail locations across the country united to help fight childhood cancer through the 16th annual St. Jude Halloween Promotion sponsored by Coors Brewing Company and benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.During the month-long promotion, employees at the participating establishments asked patrons to make a $1 donation to St. Jude to join in the fight against catastrophic childhood diseases.
Coors Brewing Company adopted the St. Jude Halloween Program as its official Halloween project in 1992. Since then, the program has raised more than $33 million for St. Jude. In 2006 alone, more than 330 distributors and 150 independent retail locations participated in the program and raised more than $3.8 million.


In 2007, GWD and it's retail Partners heled by raising $1000.00 in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle. In 2008, Great Western hopes to double its contribution to $2000.00. Thank you to all the GWD Teammates and the reatil partners for this success.
