The Remi Group Makes a Splash in its 2nd Annual School Supplies Drive!

(prHWY.com) August 12, 2011 - Charlotte, NC -- During the Color the Park School Supplies Drive of 2011, the goal of Ballantyne Corporate Park - home to The Remi Group's headquarters - was to collect 15,000 packs of markers to benefit Classroom Central. In an effort to support the local community, The Remi Group employees participated in a friendly competition between home office departments. Employees were divided up in to four teams and the team with the most packs of markers won a free PTO day. As a result of the employees' generosity, The Remi Group collected 1,000 packs of markers that will be donated to Classroom Central as part of Ballantyne Corporate Park's donation.

The Remi Group was also featured on the "School Tools" segment during WSOC-TV's nightly newscast. A copy of the news clip will be available in the near future.

Classroom Central is a local Charlotte organization founded in 2000. They are a free store for teachers that supports more than 90,000 students living in poverty in the Charlotte community. During this past school year, Classroom Central donated more than $4.4 Million in free school supplies.
