Global Sourcing Auction Raises over $7,000 for Coins 4 Kids!

Share it Please
The results are in! Amazing! During their lunch time, Global Sourcing held its own live and silent auction and raised over $7,000 to feed the children in Nairobi!

Floor Champion Neta Lathum coordinated all the activities and is so proud they were able to raise twice the amount they did last year!  The energy was high as employees bid on a variety of items including Grizzlies tickets, NCAA tickets, golf outings, hotel packages, lunch with Dave Liebetreu, VP Global Sourcing and a 30 minute face-to-face with IP CEO John Faraci, just to name a few.

Neta's plan was to raise enough money to fund the Global Sourcing basket for the annual basket raffle that takes place during the Spring 4 Kids week in Memphis. This year, she raised enough money to put together an amazing basket and give a very generous cash donation to Coins 4 Kids! The Global Sourcing basket is themed "San Francisco - A Gateway Experience" and will include these great items:

**Roundtrip Airfare for 2
**Hotel Stay for 4 days
**Rental Car
**Cruise around the port of San Francisco
**San Francisco Tour
**Movie "The Rock"
**Tour Book of San Francisco
**Wine Glasses & several bottles of wine
**Assortment of chocolates and other food items

You can buy tickets for the raffle baskets during the Spring 4 Kids week, April 7th to 11th.  Baskets will be raffled on April 11th during the employee luncheon at the Towers in Memphis!  

The Spring 4 Kids team would like to send a huge thank you to Neta, her volunteers and to the Global Sourcing employees who participated in this fun event!  Your efforts, enthusiasm and dedication to Coins 4 Kids are appreciated.  Because of you, so many children will enjoy a hot meal in school; a meal that is often one of the main reasons they come to school and stay in school.
