Sweet Dreams Donation Drive at Albany International, Perth, Ontario

Albany International Corp. colleagues in Perth, Ontario, Canada, got creative to conduct Sweet Dreams donation drive within their plant.

"Our team dressed up in pajamas and slippers to raise awareness for the PrimaLoft Support Your Dreams campaign," says Joanne Whittle, Human Resource Manager, Perth. "We have already surpassed our goal with one week left!"

The Perth plant has partnered with a local domestic violence safe house called "Interval House" and set a targeted goal of $1,000 of clothing value for their drive. They have collected both new and gently used clothing for adults and children staying at Interval House and trying to leave abusive situations.

"We also have a cash donation, which we will use to purchase a few PrimaLoft pillows for the shelter," adds Whittle.

There's still time to join them in supporting the cause. Until the end of October, go to www.supportyourdreams.org to purchase PrimaLoft bedding at a discount, and 20% of the proceeds from the sales on this site will be donated to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
