WOW Logistics' Battle for the Charities Kickball Tournament & Charity Softball Tournament On Saturday, October 3, 2009 WOW Logistics hosted the Battle for the Charities Kickball Tournament in Appleton, Wisconsin. The day long event was in conjunction with a WOW employee company picnic and consisted of six kickball teams who battled for six separate charities! At the end of the day, WOW was able to raise over $8,000 for local charities. The winning team (consisting of employees from WOW-Menasha and WOW-Marshfield) took home the kickball trophy and also nearly $2,500 for their charity, United Way. The remaining team charities consisted of Special Olympics, Rebuilding Together, Diabetes Foundation, Children's Miracle Network and the Wood County Child Abuse Prevention Task Force who will each receive a donation of nearly $1,200 each. In addition, also on Saturday, October 3, 2009 WOW Logistics hosted the 2nd Annual Jesse Simpson Memorial Charity Softball Tournament in Jerome, Idaho. Along with many great sponsors, WOW Logistics was able to raise nearly $10,000 for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). Each year nearly 780,000 children in the US are caught up in the court and child welfare maze and it costs approximately $950/child/year to take care of them. The tournament, which began last year in remembrance of a WOW Logistics' employee who lost his battle with cancer has raised over $20,000 for local charities. WOW would like to take the opportunity to thank all our sponsors, especially Jerome Cheese (Davisco), Glanbia Foods and Hilex.
