Koozie Group's Support of United Way Chapters Surpasses $455,000

With the latest donations from its writing instrument giveback program, Clearwater, Florida-based Koozie Group announced that its support for three regional United Way chapters has reached more than $455,000 over the last two years.

Since 2022, Koozie Group has committed to donating 5% of writing instrument sales referencing a code to regional chapters of United Way in Florida and Minnesota, where its facilities are located. To date, this program has generated more than $30,000 in cash donations to United Way Suncoast in Tampa, FL; United Way of Goodhue, Wabasha, and Pierce Counties in Red Wing, MN; and United Way of the Brown County Area in New Ulm, MN. Representatives from Koozie Group recently presented these chapters with oversized checks for more than $5,500 apiece.

Koozie Group's support of United Way goes beyond cash donations, however. Since 2022, in-kind donations have reached more than $425,000. Employees especially enjoy participating in annual back-to-school events that benefit children in their local communities. Over the last two years, the company has delivered 3,400 backpacks filled with markers, crayons, pencils, water bottles, and more to the three United Way chapters. Other notable support has included hurricane relief efforts in Florida.

"As part of our Keep It. Give It. vision, we strive to do business in a way that benefits our people, our customers, our communities, and our industry," said Melissa Ralston, chief revenue officer for Koozie Group. "Givebacks are one of the many ways we accomplish this goal, and we are so proud to support amazing organizations like our local United Way chapters."

Koozie Group announced in January that it will continue its writing instrument giveback program in 2024, and is excited to build on its other support efforts with United Way in the future.
