ANDERSON PACKAGING'S PROJECT E.L.L.F. CHARITABLE GIVING CAMPAIGN DOUBLES GOAL
12-19-2008 

Rockford, IL, December 18, 2008 - Anderson Packaging is pleased to report the success of its second annual Project E.L.L.F. charitable giving campaign. The program, "Project E.L.L.F.: Enriching the Lives of the Less Fortunate," was designed as a grassroots holiday themed voluntary charity donation effort for company workers. Over a three-week period, from December 1st to December 17th, workers submitted donations to nominate teams in a cross-functional competition. Teams raising the most money will greet workers at the plant entrances on December 22nd in holiday themed costumes at each of the company's three shifts and multiple facilities.

"This is our second year of the Project E.L.L.F. campaign," states Tracy Barr, Director of Customer Project Planning at Anderson Packaging. "Last year we established a rather modest goal of $3,500 and ended up totaling over $7,500 in individual employee contributions. The company then matched those funds 100%, and we were able to provide three charities each a $5,000 donation. It was really a fantastic concept and was warmly embraced across the organization. Going into this year's campaign we established a goal of $10,000 for employee contributions. Despite the very challenging economy, we were astonished to find that we were able to raise $22,000 in employee contributions. It's truly a testament to our employee's generosity and sense of community. We could not be more pleased with the results."

Once again, Anderson Packaging will match the employee contributions 100%, bringing the total funds generated to $44,000. Individual donations will be made to the Rockford Rescue Mission, Rockford Red Cross Homeless Shelter, Rockford P.H.A.S.E./W.A.V.E., and Patriots' Gateway Center. The company plans to continue the program as an annual holiday event.
