Petersen Dean Launches Fundraising For Viola Blythe

PetersenDean Roofing and Solar Systems issued this press release:

Viola Blythe Community Service Center of Newark launched their new fundraising campaign at the City of Newark Mayor and Council Candidates Luncheon.

In partnership with Roofing and Solar Systems, will receive from $250-$1000 for every roof or solar system purchased by Newark citizens depending on the purchase size.

“Giving for Living is a practical way to drive funds to great community organizations like Viola Blythe,” says Jim Petersen, CEO and founder of PetersenDean Roofing and Solar Systems, “We all can’t spend the time or money like the volunteers at Viola Blythe so by participating in our fundraising program, homeowners can help others as a by-product of their purchase. Giving for Living is a practical way to drive funds to great community organizations like Viola Blythe”

The PetersenDean was created to help non-profit organizations generate funds through their sales and channels, therefore expanding the non-profit’s ability to reach the public.

Non-profits can cultivate their own contacts when promoting their fundraising campaign and PetersenDean provides additional support by conducting free solar seminars, informing local citizens to the non-profit and creating collateral for the non-profit to distribute in advertising.

Interested homeowners can help raise funds for Viola Blythe Community Service Center of Newark by contacting them at (510) 794-3437 or PetersenDean at (800)564-0362 to inquire about a new roof or solar system.

Homeowners need to be sure to mention the Viola Blythe program so funds can be donated to the Center on the homeowner’s behalf upon completion of the roof or solar system.

About Viola Blythe Community Service Center of Newark: Viola Freeman was born in McComb, Oklahoma on Sept. 28, 1916, the ninth of ten children and orphaned at the age of four. She married Stanley Blythe in 1946 and moved to Newark the same year. They lived in a small house across from what is now the Viola Blythe Center. The Newark woman helped those in need for more than 50 years -- first out of the garage of her Newark home, and later, the City of Newark offered Viola a building at Ash Street Park from which to operate. At that point, the Viola Blythe Community Service Center of Newark was born. With the help from the City, churches, schools, businesses, individuals and volunteers, the non-profit Center today provides emergency services to approximately 10,600 people each year. This includes Thanksgiving and Christmas programs and a Children's Christmas party for approximately 350 children. The kids each receive a new toy, a visit with Santa, entertainment and refreshments. Viola’s daughter, Debbie Caravalho, who is lovingly carrying on the tradition started by her mother, currently runs the center. Learn more at violablythe@sbcglobal.net
