FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Fuller Excavating and Ward Lumber
Join Forces for Irene Relief
Jay, NY - Fuller Excavating joins forces with Ward Lumber to match donations for Irene relief efforts in the Towns of Jay and
Keene.
Ward Lumber has been challenging donors to make a tax deductible gift for Irene Relief with a match pledge up to a total of
$5,000. Fuller Excavating has generously offered a $5,000 match challenge also, in affect doubling the match. Ward Lumber
and Fuller Excavating have also challenged their employees and will double their donations.
Here are examples of the new joint match challenge: a $100 donation by customers and friends will be matched by both
Ward Lumber and Fuller Excavating for a total of $300! An employee donation of $100 will be doubled by both Ward Lumber
and Fuller Excavating at $200 more each, making that donation grow to $500! Any size donation is appreciated and will now
go even farther with Fuller’s added matching challenge.
The goal of the match challenge by Ward and Fuller is to raise an added $15,000 in combined donations and matching funds
through the gifts of customers, friends, employees and venders. That's enough to make a small difference to people in
desperate circumstances.
The Jay Flood Relief Fund and the Keene Flood Recovery Fund have been established at the Adirondack Community Trust
to receive tax deductible gifts to support the hamlets of Au Sable Forks, Jay and Upper Jay, Keene and Keene Valley. A
committee of local volunteers, who have a deep understanding of the town and its residents, will evaluate applications for
assistance and determine how grants will be allocated.
Please consider a gift that will help families and small businesses as they rebuild and your donation will now be doubled!
