Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Collects 6,337 pages for World's Largest Scrapbook
Project Benefits Make-a-Wish Foundation; Nebraska and Maine Make-A-Wish Chapters Honored for Creating the Most Pages
WHEELING, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L announced today that they have collected 6,337 pages as part of THE WORLD'S LARGEST SCRAPBOOK to be unveiled at the annual Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) Show in Anaheim, Calif., on Jan. 29, 2007. Make-A-Wish Foundation chapters throughout the country created and collected the pages, which joyfully chronicle wishes the organization has granted to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L created THE WORLD'S LARGEST SCRAPBOOK in order to share with members of our scrapbooking community -- from customers and partners, to publishers and scrapbookers -- how supporting Scrapbook Adhesives benefits courageous Make-A-Wish children nationwide. Scrapbook Adhesives will donate $50,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation to help further its wish-granting mission. All attendees of the CHA Show will be able to view THE WORLD'S LARGEST SCRAPBOOK at Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L's tradeshow booth (# 1151) beginning Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2007.
"Our goal was to collect 1,000 pages, but the participation of the Make-A-Wish chapters was overwhelming! This is a real testament to the devotion of the all the Make-A-Wish volunteers," said Tom Vasko, VP of Sales, of Scrapbook Adhesives of 3L. "Scrapbook Adhesives is proud to share the heartwarming stories of wish kids with the scrapbooking community."
The two Make-A-Wish chapters that submitted the most scrapbook pages will receive a portion of Scrapbook Adhesives' $50,000 donation. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Nebraska will be awarded $10,000 for its submission of 1,835 pages, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Maine secured a second-place prize of $5,000 by collecting 962 pages.
Scrapbook Adhesives believes that a strong part of their business model should be giving back to the community that supports them. The company currently donates four cents of every product sold to the Make-A-Wish Foundation and also provided adhesive products to Make-A-Wish chapters across the country to help make THE WORLD'S LARGEST SCRAPBOOK possible.
