Diana Martin 39082 Welsh Lane Beach Park, IL 60083 November 1, 2017 Nora Tritten Store Manager Walgreens 3575 Green Bay Road Kenosha, WI 53142 Dear Mrs. Tritten: Subject: Red Nose Day Over the years, Walgreens has been an admirable supporter of the Red Nose Day program. We wanted to thank you for the support you have provided for this charity and local charities as well. Specifically, we appreciate the Red Nose donations to the local schools, otherwise, some may not have had the opportunity to participate. However, this year we have added extra products for the local school students and communities. Each year, we have sent t-shirts to the employees of the stores that are pushing the Red Nose Day program. This year the t-shirts are vibrant
But Wal-Mart’s care for us goes beyond that simple relationship. As many of us have seen if we have been to a Wal-Mart, they hire people who normally would not be able to get a job. The company knows that by broadcasting itself as positive and helpful in nature it can increase its revenue and in turn increase the amount of assistance it provides to us the consumer. “In 2004 Wal-Mart donated over $170 million. More than 90 percent of these donations went to charities in the communities served by Wal-Mart stores.’ Even more heartfelt than this, Wal-Mart was the leader in goods based relief efforts for victims of hurricane Katrina. “Walmart’s response to the hurricane was lauded even by its critics: it donated more than $20 million worth of merchandise, including food for 100,000 meals, and it promised jobs for all of its displaced workers.” And the first supply truck to arrive at the superdome was a Wal-Mart truck.
Walgreens was founded in 1901 measuring 50 feet by 20 feet by Charles R. Walgreen, Sr.. Mr. Walgreen was born near Galesburg, Illinois and his family later relocated to Dixon, Illinois at town about 60 miles north of his birthplace. Mr. Walgreens’ father was a farmer who turned into a businessperson and saw a great potential of the Rock River Valley (Walgreen, n.d., p.1). At age 16, Charles Walgreen had his first experience working in a drug store. He didn’t always have pleasurable experiences but it was a job with pay. He had an accident at a shoe factory that cut off his left middle finger from the top joint. This injury also stops him from playing any sports at school. After a year and a half with the drug store, Mr. Walgreen left to pursue something bigger in the big city-Chicago.

The video True Colors- Racial Discrimination in Everyday Life ½ (2010), was really interesting yet disturbing to watch. This was an experiment where a black and white male, who were equal in everything, such as jobs and education, were to do the same things in St. Louis, Missouri and see if they would get treated equally, and if not, how differently they would be treated. The experiment showed time and time again racial discrimination. Racial discrimination is according to Thefreedictionary.com (2015), “discriminatory of abusive behavior towards members of another race” and “unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice”.
As a non-profit organization, CHN relies on corporate, and TV/media partnerships to continue to provide the services they offer to the 170 children’s hospitals. These fundraisers are done in several ways the very first means of donation came from a telethon conducting in 1983 by founders Marie Osmond, John Schneider, Mick Shannon, and Joe Lake.

These donations are done in the form of tournaments, relays, telethons, and various other marathons. One of the most well-known forms of donations is done though the CMN paper balloon sales. Many of the named above stores, as well as many others s...
From time immemorial, hell was an inspiration for the costumes used during Halloween. In the contemporary society, turning up for Halloween dressed up as a goblin, zombie or ghost is less likely to make a staunch follower of the event to receive sufficient appreciation. Popular culture has succeeded in replacing the underworld in terms of providing influential costumes for the event. The aspect of individuals from different races increasingly dominating pop culture is causing costume lovers to face a number of issues. The most dominant question has always been whether it is ethical to dress or appear dressed up like someone from a different race during Halloween. This factor largely bases on the costume an individual chooses, and the manner he or she ends up presenting the costume. It also depends on what the individual wearing the costume is representing or duplicating during the event. In view of all the complexities involved in choosing an appropriate dress code, it remains imperative to display keenness while settling on certain attire. Observing one’s dress code prevents an individual from making a racial gaffe that may occur when the person wears attire that derogates another race.

Happy Hat, a U.S. national chain of frozen yogurt stores with about 500 stores in 40 states is asking for assistance with its business processes. The average number of visitors per store has held constant over the past several years, but revenues per store are down by an average of 10%, and many stores are no longer profitable. The client suspects that a large amount of inventory is being thrown away unused at the end of each day. At the same time, customer polling suggests that the yogurt flavor customers want is often not available, even when the flavor is posted on the menu. People also complain about stores being closed when they visit. Now, the chain is facing increased competition from frozen yogurt sold in 24-hour grocery stores. Happy

This hospital focuses on helping children, in particular, children who have cancer or any other life-threatening diseases. “The mission is to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of our founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family's ability to pay” (St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 2017). These children are constantly attached to an IV in the hospital, unlike other children who don’t have any life-threating diseases. These children are unable to enjoy their childhood they way the other children do. This is the reason why we decided to a do a toy drive so with just the little bit of happiness they get when they receive these toys, can help distracted them to where they are and the pain they are going
