child care Representatives from Buckmans Car Wash presented a check in the amount of $938.88 to Lakeside Child Care from proceeds raised through their "Penny Power" project. This amount was collected during the last quarter of 2002, in addition to the $4,051 donated last summer. Ray Justice, former owner of Buckmans, accompanied Jeff Gold, the new owner and president, and Christine Kretchmer from marketing, to Lakeside Child Care to present the gift to David Saffer, Director of Lakeside Child Care. Customers at Buckmans Car Wash were asked to donate any change they received from their car wash, or more, to the "Penny Power" project. Customer contributions are supplemented with corporate sponsorship from HSBC Bank and Buckmans Car Wash. The funds are then donated to non-profit agencies that provide educational and support services to children, youth and families in the Western New York area. Buckmans has been supporting Lakeside Child Care since May 1999, donating $8,167 to benefit the care center. Since its inception, the Penny Power Project has donated $48,958 to benefit children. |
