¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app AutoGlass donates $18,500 to A Kid Again through OSU Kicks for Kids program
COLUMBUS, OH – On Nov. 29, 2017, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app AutoGlass®, the nation’s largest provider of vehicle glass repair and replacement services, donated $18,500 to A Kid Again through the “Kicks for Kids” program with The Ohio State University. A Kid Again is a central Ohio charitable organization that fully funds special adventures for children with life threatening illnesses and their families.
In addition to the partnership with A Kid Again, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app is a sponsor of OSU athletics, which was the inspiration behind the inaugural “Kicks for Kids” program. For every extra point or field goal made by the Buckeyes, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app AutoGlass donated $500 to “Kicks For Kids.”
Christina Pletnewski, vice president of marketing for ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app AutoGlass shared that giving back is in the DNA of the company and their associates. “It’s rewarding to support a great organization like A Kid Again,” she said. “Helping families take a break from illness to build happy memories together is very meaningful.”
Pletnewski joined ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app Senior Corporate Counsel Brian DiMasi, who serves as vice chair on the A Kid Again board of directors, to present the $18,500 check to A Kid Again CEO Oyauma Garrison at Value City Arena in The Jerome Schottenstein Center.
“If it weren’t for ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app AutoGlass and their associates, A Kid Again would not be what we are today,” Garrison said. “Through ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½app’s passionate service, advocacy, and generous investments of nearly $600,000 over the years, we’ve been able to provide wonderful adventures for our kids and families.”
The funds will help A Kid Again give families they serve the opportunity to create shared experiences and unforgettable memories during an otherwise difficult time in their lives. For 20+ years, the organization has served nearly 207,000 people.
