Jevic to Help Fill 'Stockings for Kids'; Partners with Salvation
Army, B101, and NBC10 for Holiday Fundraiser DELANCO, N.J., Nov. 29
/PRNewswire/ -- For the third year in a row, Burlington
County-based Jevic Transportation, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of SCS Transportation (NASDAQ:SCST), will partner with local
Philadelphia radio station B101, TV affiliate NBC10, and the
Salvation Army for the 9th annual "Stockings for Kids" fundraiser.
As the program's official motor carrier, Jevic will pick up toys
from designated drop-off locations and deliver them to the
Salvation Army for distribution to underprivileged children in
Philadelphia and the surrounding areas in time for the holidays.
"Jevic is the true backbone of Stockings for Kids," said B101 Event
Manager Tim Davis. "Without their tireless efforts over the past
three years, the program could not have experienced as much growth
as it has. Everyone at Jevic should feel like Santa Claus because
together, we help make the holidays a brighter time for thousands
of kids across the Delaware Valley." "Stockings for Kids is an
extremely worthwhile program that helps to bring joy to the lives
of disadvantaged children during the holiday season," said Jevic
President and CEO Paul Karvois. "We are pleased to see the
community respond so generously each year, and are proud to be able
to participate in the way that we know best - providing safe and
secure transport for needed goods. We're confident that the
community will pull together to help B101 reach its goal." B101
launched "Stockings for Kids" in 1996 as a school-focused
fundraiser. The station distributed empty stockings to
Philadelphia-area schools, asking students to help fill the
stockings with new toys for needy local children. That first year,
thousands of children, parents and teachers contributed over 15,000
stockings, totaling $160,000 in donations. Since then, "Stockings
for Kids" has generated over $5 million in toys and donations, and
has grown into a movement that includes thousands of individuals,
schools, corporations and community groups. The organization's goal
this year is to collect over 75,000 toys and stockings (or
approximately $1.5 million). Jevic Transportation is a fully
integrated, multi-regional motor carrier, providing Next Day,
Regional, National, Canadian LTL, and selected truckload services.
The company offers convenient, customized solutions and best of
