A pledge to our community
“If we do this thing right – and believe me we’re trying to
make it better every year – then everybody wins. Some people like to
think it’s just one big party out here. And we do manage to have a
good time. But the whole point behind it is to try to raise some
money for so many good and important causes in the communities we
serve.”

Access adds massive blood drive to annual
Customer Appreciation Day fundraising events
In fact, your pint of blood
can help
save FOUR lives, experts say.
ROSE CITY,
MI – Visitors to the 9th Annual M33 Access Customer Appreciation Day
Festival and Concert Fundraiser will be asked, cajoled, challenged and otherwise
encouraged to take part in the event’s first-ever blood drive with a target goal
of 500 pints, making it one of the largest one-day campaigns ever in Michigan. “We’re
absolutely thrilled to be doing this,” said Glenn A. Wilson, Sr., the company’s
founder and CEO. “This Festival has taken on a life of its own in the past few
years, evolving from a big company picnic to a giant community fundraiser.
“This blood drive merely personifies what the festival has become – a festive,
family event to gather a bunch of great people, have a wonderful time and in the
process do some really nice things to help others.”The blood
drive is one of several new additions to the July 19 event at the company’s
headquarters in this Ogemaw County village. Several activities designed to
improve the health and welfare of children will be unveiled in the coming weeks,
Wilson said.
