One highlight from this year’s fundraising activities was the company-wide raffle of a 49” flat-screen TV. “We were looking for a way to create some extra excitement and gather more donations,” says American Litho Salesman Jim Raffini, who donated the TV. “There were plenty of people on the team that stepped up to sell raffle tickets, which was great to see.”
