Clark Hilty, our Print Manager, had an amazing opportunity yesterday. Yep, you guessed it, he had the chance to play Donkey Basketball in front of 150 screaming fans! Riverside Christian school, located in Jackson, Ky, hosted this awesome fundraiser. Clark made a cool t-shirt, but unfortunately, didn’t get to keep the helmet.

Paint The Town Pink Begins Today!

Here at Surge more than 300 pink shirts have been unpacked, printed, folded and delivered the last couple of weeks. Over 40 community organizations/businesses have joined Pattie A. Clay Hospital’s as PINK PARTNERS. Thousands of dollars have been raised. This could only mean one thing…

Richmond’s 2nd Annual community-wide Paint the Town Pink week-long campaign begins today to promote breast cancer awareness and early detection while raising money for the local cancer charities.

The kick-off event was today, Friday, October 1 at 10:00 a.m. at Richmond City Hall. The Mayor and Judge Executive read and signed the proclamation. With a group of breast cancer survivors and PINK PARTNERS, The Mayor and Judge Executive had balloon launch to signify the event.

We are looking forward to participating in the rest of the week’s activities!

$1000 for Haiti Relief

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 02:51:06 +0000

The SurgeIMPACT program has frequented the discussion here on this blog – and on our parent site: surgepromotions.com – and now the first “impact” has been made. Today we visited our launch partner, Christian Flights International, to hand them a check for $1000, which will be used to further establish the city of Ranquitte! Currently, CFI is completing the development of a dentistry clinic to help the local populace.

Scott Mandl, CFI’s Executive Director, had some encouraging words for us at Surge:

“We truly appreciate Surge helping us out in such a generous way. This is a great example of a local business using their gifts and talents to ‘give back.’ This is something any business could do, and Surge showed they are a business that truly cares.

“This was especially meaningful to us because Devon…designed our Haiti Team Shirts, and Matt designed the ‘Colonel’s 4 Haiti’ shirt sold on EKU’s campus, which raised enough money to sponsor a teacher. So not only as a customer, but also as a mission to Haiti, we are very thankful for how much Surge has helped us!”

Stay locked for more updates on the SurgeIMPACT program, as we’ll be letting you know who we will be supporting next in the upcoming weeks!

We’re here to create an impact in our city, our state, and our world. Thank you all for your support!
