AmeriGas Propane donates $750 to School District of Rhinelander programs
"The AmeriGas team raised funds for donation through BBQ cylinder sales on their customer appreciation day," according to a school district press release. "They took 50 percent of every sale and set it aside for donation to the School District of Rhinelander. Every year they pick a day, typically 'Ridikulus Dae,' and run a sale on BBQ cylinder fillups, then make a donation to support the community."
In previous years the company has donated to the Rhinelander Area Food Pantry and began a "fill a backpack" program in support of the Kids in Need organization, the release states. This year they held a second cylinder filling sale day in an effort to increase their community contribution; they dedicated one sale day to the school district and the other to "fill a backpack" and both had tremendous community support. Their team decided on the school district this year to assist programs that could use more funding support; the youth are our future and should have every opportunity to actively grow, the release sates.
