Author: IGA News
(Chicago, IL) - IGA today announced that IGA has joined forces with Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) to create IGA USA’s first IGA Private Brand cause marketing initiative. During this national campaign—running in participating IGA stores from Memorial Day Weekend (May 27) through Labor Day weekend (Sept. 5)—IGA will donate 10 cents from the sale of every specially marked case of IGA Brand water to Wounded Warrior Project, an organization whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. By fall of this year, IGA’s hopes to have donated up to $100,000 to WWP.
“For more than 80 years now, IGA Retailers have been building the brand’s reputation by doing their part to give back and support worthy causes in the communities they serve,” Dave Bennett, IGA senior vice president of Procurement & Private Brands, said. “It is only natural that we would use the power of our IGA Private Brand line to align IGA and its retailers with the causes that matter to today’s consumer on a national level, as well. We’re proud that this initiative will raise much-needed funding to help wounded service members with everything from physical health and wellness, counseling, family aid, and job assistance.”
