$5000 donation raised in one day
Prosser, WA, August 24, 2023 --- To support those affected by the deadly wildfires in Maui, Chukar Cherries is donating $5000 to the American Red Cross in Hawaii, which is providing emergency aid, shelter, and health services to those affected.
Chukar raised the $5000 donation by allocating a portion of proceeds from one day of sales. “We notified our customers that 20% of the day’s proceeds would be donated to support Maui relief efforts. We saw a bump in sales that day, showing how much our customers care. We rounded up our customers generous efforts to $5000. There is no shortage of need, and we thank our customers for joining us in supporting this effort,” said Marketing Manager Wynne Auld.
Chukar Cherries has a history of supporting community needs. From its Prosser headquarters in south-central Washington to greater Seattle and Pike Place Market—Chukar supports youth development, access to nutritious food, and environmental conservation. Other recent donations include $10,000 to Historic Downtown Prosser to support quality of life and economic development and $5000 to Pike Place Market Foundation for housing, food, and other social services.
