We're thrilled to announce the remarkable success of our first-ever Call-a-Thon, which raised an impressive $32,000 for charity!
The Link Companies Call-a-Thon, held on Thursday, June 22, was an initiative aimed at raising funds for supporting charities: Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Wellspring Living, and Gift for Life. With every appointment made, a set amount was donated to these amazing efforts. The goal was to donate $25,000 in charitable giving which was far surpassed due to the number of appointments booked with retailers.
Fred Rosenkampff, CEO of The Link Companies and Gift for Life Board Member, says “We’re thrilled with our first Link Call-a-Thon results! And we’re excited to donate to our Link Charities and help support World Central Kitchen through Gift for Life. This was a special day in our company history.”
We achieved the significant milestone of booking a record number of appointments for July in one day during the Call-a-Thon. The effort was led by our 90 Territory Managers getting their customers on the phone and booked in July, with a majority of appointments attending Atlanta Market, July 10-17. The number of appointments booked surpasses last year’s totals and creates an exciting foundation heading into the Market in a few weeks.
The Link Companies President, Fred Ballard, reported updates throughout the day from The Link Companies AmericasMart Showroom, “You could sense the energy building throughout the day! Our Territory Managers were super impressive and really stepped up for this special program. But our customers came through and we’re truly blessed to work with wonderful people. Their partnership and generosity showed out in a big way!”
The buzz of the day carried over to several Link Company vendors, many reaching out to share their support for the Call-a-Thon and rally their customer base to see them in The Link Companies showroom this July.
Brad Rosenkampff, The Link Companies Chief Marketing Officer shared, “We are more than grateful for our team and our retail partners. We’re honored to work with these great charitable organizations and this tremendous team effort will have an immediate impact!”
