Pacific Emblem Company, El Cajon, CA, s stepping up in a big way to help raise money for the fire victims on Maui. The company has ties and friends on the Hawaiian Islands and wanted to do something to help as much as possible.
“My heart hurts for all those on Maui who lost their lives, homes, and businessesm and I had to do something to raise desperately needed funds for the residents,” said Rich Soergel (aka Dr. Patch), president of Pacific Emblem Company. “My goal was set up a special site—www.MauiStrong.help—where people can donatem and in doing so, get free patches, wristbands, and/or decals in return for their in-kind donations. We created a very special and carefully design featuring the Hawaiian Sea Turtle—symbolizing calm and resilience—and a Whale Tail—symbolizing strength and determination—on a gentle Teal colored background. It is truly a well thought out design.”
The company’s goal is to raise upwards of $25,000 and donate to the Hawaii Community Foundation (referred to as the Maui Strong Fund). And 100% of the money raised—after the cost of goods, employees, and shipping, which is free—will be donated. The goal is for Dr. Patch to fly over to Maui and hand-deliver a check for that amount and more.
