LENDING AN ARTISTIC HAND - Store Fixture and Supply Company Supports Haiti Relief
Specialty Store Services supported relief efforts for the Children of Israel Orphanage in Haiti by donating all proceeds from auctioned hand forms painted by local students.
Online, May 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Des Plaines, IL - April 12, 2010 - Specialty Store Services (SSS), a leading provider of products and services to independent retailers and small business owners, was proud to support the Hands for Haiti project to fund relief efforts for the Children of Israel Orphanage. Eric Weinstein, CEO of SSS, was happy to donate a number of hand forms from his business that were used as an art project. "Students from the St. Peter Lutheran School painted on the hand forms Specialty Store Services donated for Hands for Haiti," explained Weinstein. These works of art created by children from the Schaumburg, IL school were auctioned in a black tie event held March 27. All proceeds went directly to help the rebuilding of the Children of Israel Orphanage, which sustained major structural damage during the massive earthquake in Haiti.
"This was a creative way we could help support the rebuilding of the orphanage in Haiti, to give the children there hope for their futures." Weinstein encourages everyone to help the relief efforts in whatever way they can, and is proud his company was able to contribute.
