2011 Give A Kid A Coat Kickoff

Give A Kid A Coat, the annual program that solicits coat donations from area residents to donate to needy children and adults, will kick off its 25th campaign at 5 a.m. on Friday, October 21 at the A Cleaner World located at 2527 Eastchester Drive in High Point.  Fox 8 and 1075KZL will broadcast live during the event.  The morning will be filled with visits by local celebrities, great food, exciting contests, and live entertainment.

"For many reasons Fall is my favorite time of year," said Chris Edwards, President of A Cleaner World.  "The biggest reason is that we get to team up with terrific organizations and local residents to help those in need.  With the economy continuing to be a challenge, I am certain that the opportunity to help will be great.  I hope you will check your closet for a coat to donate and then join me at this year's kickoff."

Anyone wishing to donate to the 2011 Give A Kid A Coat campaign may do so by dropping off coats at any A Cleaner World location beginning Friday, October 21 through Saturday, November 26.  Coats will be cleaned and repaired free of charge, then given to The Salvation Army for distribution.

Give A Kid A Coat is sponsored by A Cleaner World, Fox8/WGHP, 1075KZL, and The Salvation Army.  For additional information, please contact Chris Edwards at 336-841-4188.
