Member Spotlight featuring philanthropy LITTLE CAESARS TEAMS WITH B&GC ‘LITTLE CHEESERS’
Little Caesars helped Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County raise $8,000 through a third year of a “Little Cheesers” campaign recently – 60 percent more than last year. The funds come from customers making a gift at the register. “We have contributed free pizzas to the local clubs since we opened our first Bellingham store in 1988,” said Rob Coulthurst (holding the $8,000 check with CEO Heather Powell of the Whatcom Clubs)., Coulthurst is CFO of Target Market Enterprises and manager of marketing for local stores. “In a typical year we donate around 200+ pizzas to the Clubs.” (Photo courtesy of Boys & Girls Clubs of Whatcom County)
