According to the release, the AmeriGas team raised funds for the donation through BBQ cylinder sales on their customer appreciation day. They took 50% of every sale and set it aside to be donated 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, the release explains.
"In prior years they have 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."
