August is here, which means it’s time for The Cable Company’s Annual “Summer Against Hunger” fundraiser. This marks the 15th year that The Cable Company collaborates with CARE, a leading humanitarian effort battling global poverty, with a dollar for dollar donation on purchases of sponsored products in the month of August.
Participating sponsors include AAudio Imports, Clearaudio, Immedia, Musical Surroundings, and Siltech, but there are many more. For more info and a complete list of sponsors, click here or visit www.thecableco.com. For more info on CARE, visit www.care.org.
The Cable Company donates a percentage of sales which are matched by sponsoring manufacturers. The 1:1 minimum donation is guaranteed by the generous participation of an anonymous audiophile donor, who is providing a funding match for total Cable Company, plus vendor contributions, and who is also underwriting the collection of additional matching funds from other CARE donors.“Summer Against Hunger” has been a happy success. The Cable Company’s Robert Stein informs us: “Aggregate donations during the 15 years of “Summer Against Hunger,” including match funding, are approaching $2 million, and have helped support CARE programs in some of the poorest parts of the world. In the last few years, “Summer Against Hunger” donations have been earmarked for projects including the development of agricultural infrastructure in Madagascar, building schools in north central Nicaragua, and basic child survival nutrition and health programs in Sierra Leone.”
