ANDERSON PACKAGING'S PROJECT E.L.L.F. CHARITABLE GIVING CAMPAIGN A HUGE SUCCESS
12-17-2007 

Rockford, IL, December 17, 2007 - Anderson Packaging is pleased to report the success of its Project E.L.L.F. holiday charitable giving campaign. The program, "Project E.L.F.F.: Enriching the Lives of the Less Fortunate," was designed as a grassroots voluntary charity donation for company workers. Over a three-week period, from November 26th to December 14th, workers submitted donations to the cause of a particular group of executives. Those executives raising the most money will greet workers at the plant entrances on December 20th in holiday themed costumes.

"Project E.L.L.F. started off as a small scale team-building opportunity for our Project Management group," states Tracy Barr, Director of Customer Project Planning at Anderson. "Once we received the buy-in and full support from upper management, the whole project really took off. The whole company embraced the idea and had a lot of fun along the way. Every department came up with their own creative way to raise funds. We recognize that we have been very fortunate to be part of the ongoing success at Anderson Packaging and that many people in the Rockford area are in difficult situations and could really use some assistance. In the spirit of the holidays, this is our small part in helping them out."

Project E.L.L.F. employee donations totaled over $7,500, far exceeding expectations and the initial goal of $3,500. Anderson Packaging as a company is matching the total 100%, bringing the total raised to $15,000, which will be distributed to local Rockford charities selected by the employees; The Rockford Rescue Mission, The Rockford Red Cross Homeless Shelter, and Rockford W.A.V.E.
