The Timberland Company, Shiekh Shoes and Power 106 Team-up For A Day of Community Service at Mann Middle School in Baldwin Hills
Service day on October 3rd kicks-off unique promotion focused on building
community and changing lives through service
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, Oct. 1 -/E-Wire/Business Wire/-- -
WHAT: Approximately 40 volunteers will spend the day helping to refurbish and revitalize the learning environment at Mann Middle school in the Baldwin Hills area of Los Angeles. For five hours, volunteers will work side by side with students, painting four murals designed by the students and landscaping surrounding school property. The renovation is part of an eighteen month "renaissance" transformation designed to support the school's mission to improve the academic and social skills of its students by preparing them for excellent performance in high school and beyond.
The group will be led by City Year, a non-profit organization and long-time Timberland partner that brings together young people for a full-year of community service.
The service day will also help kick-off the Timberland "Lasting Impressions" promotion, being promoted on Power 106 and run in nine Shiekh Shoes stores in October. During the promotion, individuals will have the chance to make a lasting impression in their own communities by entering an essay, poem or rap about how they'd like to improve their community, neighborhood or school. The winner will receive a grant from Timberland to do a day of community service in their neighborhood with 25 friends.
WHO: Volunteers from Shiekh Shoes, Power 106, Timberland, City Year and the community.
WHEN: Thursday, Oct. 3, 2002; 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
WHERE: Horace Mann Middle School 7001 South St. Andrew Place Los Angeles, CA
WHY: Timberland believes that business can, and should, be a force for positive change...that we must create value in the communities in which we do business. Community service is the perfect opportunity for non-profits, business partners and community members to come together with purpose, find common ground, and achieve positive, lasting change. Through this service day at the Horace Mann School, and through the Lasting Impressions promotion, Shiekh Shoes, Power 106 and Timberland are putting this philosophy into action. Together, they will pull on their boots and make a difference.
