S.C. Johnson CEO To Match Salvation Army Donations 2:1 Saturday

RACINE, WI — Fisk Johnson, Chairman and CEO of SC Johnson, has pledged a two-for-one personal match for all donations at Racine-area Salvation Army red kettles on Saturday, Dec. 16.

To help Racine community families and incentivize others to give generously, for every $1 donated Saturday at Racine-area red kettles, Johnson will personally match that amount with an additional $2.

"In the spirit of the season, I hope the two-for-one match will inspire those rushing in to stores Saturday to take a few seconds to donate," said Johnson. "The holidays are a time of giving and remind us that many in our hometown need help. Our donations can go a long way toward providing food, clothing and assistance to those who need it."

Fisk Johnson is the honorary chairman of the 2017 Red Kettle Campaign. In 2016, Johnson and SC Johnson provided matching donations during the kettle drive and spurred the community to raise more than $301,000.

Red kettles are located at 21 stores around the community through Dec. 23. Donations can also be sent by mail through the end of the year to help meet the 2017 goal of $305,000.

The annual Red Kettle Campaign supports programs and activities that help disadvantaged families with food, clothing and keeping a warm place to live. The Salvation Army also operates community center programs for children and seniors.
