Blaine's Business Services, Inc. to be a Pit Stop for Undie 500 7-27-06

Blaine's Business Services, Inc. is sponsoring a drop-off location for Undie 500 sponsored by WMBI and Buckner Orphan Care International (BOCI.)

BOCI is an organization dedicated to the care of lesser privileged children and families all around the world. Following suit of the highly successful Shoes for Orphan Souls drive started in 1999, the Undie 500 drive strives to create cleaner, more comfortable lives for millions of orphans all around the world by providing them with new, clean undergarments."Many take something as simple as underwear for granted and these donations will make a dramatic difference to a child who has nothing. What they do have is falling off of them and we're giving them something new," says Tiffany Taylor, BOCI's marketing director.

From July 31 until August 11 we will be accepting donations for this gracious cause at our Highland office. Our office is located within the Northwest Indiana Small Business Development Center's (SBDC) business incubator located at 2646 Highway Avenue in Highland, Indiana. We ask that you donate only new underwear (still in its packaging or containing its original tags) for children ages 0-18.

Drop off your underwear Monday through Friday between 8:30am and 5:00pm. For directions or detailed drop off information, call Joseph at (877) 525-2463.

How to drop off your underwear

From the main parking lot there is a set of double doors. Go through those into the building. There is a second set of double doors, go through those doors and tell the receptionist that you're there to drop off your underwear for the Undie 500.
