Relay Results Sunny Despite Mother Nature

Despite the weather, K&M Tire employees turned out to support the 13th annual Delphos Relay For Life Event. Mother Nature forced the event to be moved inside the Delphos Jefferson High School from its scheduled place on the outdoor track on June 12, 2015.

Craft and food choices lined the walls of the school cafeteria. K&M Tire’s team, Kruisin’ For a Miracle, sold chicken quesadillas, lemon shake ups, pop, and baked goods increasing their funds raised by $379.75 to a total of over $28,000 with a little help from corporate match.

According to a report in the Delphos Herald, the Relay evening ended with $64,000 of the $73,000 goal raised. Numerous teams have yet to turn in all of their money. Funds can be donated to this year’s event until August 31, 2015.

Fundraisers held throughout the year by the K&M Tire team included jeans days, restaurant days at Pizza Hut and Cabo Mexican Restaurant, casino bus trip, raffles, laundry detergent sales, food days, bowling event, silent auction, brat dinner and other fun activities.

The 50/50 drawing resulted in $191 for the cause, and team entries fees for the bowling event totaled $300.

K & M generously matched the money raised at the event.

In more than 5,200 communities and 20 countries, Relay For Life events comprise the signature fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. At Relay For Life events, communities come together to honor cancer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. Relay For Life teams raise money throughout the year, then during the event they take turns walking or running around a track or path at a local high school, park, or fairground.

The values of the Relay for Life Team at K & M reflect those set forth by the company. K & M Tire values making a positive difference in the community and possessing a servant’s attitude. The employees of the company strive to live with integrity, character, and passion.

Detroit Coat Drive

Knowing the temperatures would soon be dropping significantly, K&M’s Detroit warehouse hosted a coat drive during the month of September. The warehouse employees, drivers, inside sales & outside sales teams were able to collect 35 coats to donate to the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries.

The Rescue Mission is a non-profit organization that provides services to 1800 people. Each shelter location has a “closet” where those in need are able to pick out items for free.

This is a great example of how our K&M employees are living company value #7 “Make a positive difference in our community.”
