Midwest Engine Exceeds Donation Goal for the Second Year to Hope For The Warriors
Aurora, IL (PRWEB) April 28, 2015 -- Midwest Engine (MWE), a division of Illinois Auto Electric and subsidiary of Briggs and Stratton, raised nearly $12,000 for Hope For The Warriors® through the Pre-Season Program campaign that began in October 2014. MWE announced the partnership with Hope For The Warriors® as an effort to raise funds and awareness for wounded service members and military families. Hope For The Warriors® is a national nonprofit dedicated to restoring a sense of self, restoring the family unit, and restoring hope for our service members and our military families.
From October 2014 through February 2015, a donation was made to Hope For The Warriors® for every $100 of Briggs & Stratton® products purchased through MWE’s Pre-Season Program. The donation goal was $10,000, which was exceeded by the end of the promotion.
“MWE is pleased to, once again, be able to make a generous donation to Hope For The Warriors®," said Mike McCaleb, Executive Director of MWE. “They have proved a worthy charity and MWE is proud to support their cause for the second year in a row.”
