Chamberlin Rubber Company, Inc. Pledges up to a $5,000 Donation Based on Booth Activity at the 2008 APTA EXPO
 
Donation will be made to the United Way Southern California Wildfires Recovery Fund.
 

Rochester, NY.  September 26, 2008—Chamberlin Rubber Company, Inc. has pledged a donation up to the amount of $5,000.00 to the United Way Southern California Wildfires Recovery Fund.  Visitors to their booth, #607, at the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) EXPO who qualify as potential customers will be awarded a poker chip worth $25.00 to help achieve the donation goal. 
 

“The railcar industry has very stringent smoke, flame and toxicity regulations for rubber materials that are used in passenger railcars.  Chamberlin Rubber Company specializes in supplying these materials to the industry and we wanted to draw a connection between these materials and the charity we selected for our donation.” said Andrea Truini, Marketing Manager for Chamberlin Rubber Company, Inc.  “The other factor in selecting the United Way Southern California Wildfires Recovery Fund was that we wanted our donation to benefit the people in and near the San Diego area, the host city of the 2008 APTA Expo.”
 

According to the United Way website, the Southern California Wildfires Recovery Fund represents a collaboration of several United Ways across that region.  The United Way will activate a local volunteer committee of community leaders from all of the involved counties to address the long term needs of the people and communities affected.  Gifts to the United Way Southern California Wildfires Recovery Fund will support services that help to bring a community back better than before (e.g. housing, mental health, quality child care, job training).
