This year, RJLG raised money for the WISH 99.7 Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Light-Up a Child’s Life Campaign.
Each department created a themed basket, i.e., a
movie basket, a car care basket, an Italian food
basket, a wine and cheese basket.
Tickets were sold for a Chinese Auction at this
year’s annual corporate holiday party.
RJLG President Dr. Richard Lee and his wife Sandie matched, dollar for dollar, the money that was
raised… totaling $5,500. Two representatives from
the Company, Kristy Anderson and Gary Casuccio, donated the funds at the Monroeville Mall ‘Live’
