MENASHA CORPORATION FOUNDATION ANNOUNCES DONATIONS TO
EMERALD CITY THEATRE COMPANY AND CHILDREN’S MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
April 3, 2007, NEENAH, WI – The Menasha Corporation Foundation today announced the donation of
$5,000 to the Emerald City Theatre Company and $1,500 to Children’s Memorial Hospital, both located
in Chicago. The donations are being made on behalf of its National Consolidation Services’
employees in Alsip, IL, a division of one of Menasha Corporation’s four companies, ORBIS
Corporation.
“We are proud to support Emerald City Theatre Company and the creative and innovative theater
experiences it provides for families in the Chicago area as well as Children’s Memorial Hospital,
which provides life-saving care in nearly every pediatric specialty,” said Ralph L. Evans,
Foundation president. “The organizations, each in its own way, advance the Foundation’s
philanthropic vision of safe and healthy citizens and community enrichment through the healthcare
services and entertainment they provide.”
Each year the Foundation provides funding to the individual locations of the Corporation’s
four operating companies as a means of encouraging and supporting employee efforts to improve their
communities. Employee Community Action Teams work with organizations to understand the
varying needs of citizens and, on a facility-by-facility basis, match resources with those
needs. The Foundation recognizes the leadership and commitment its employees bring to
understanding community needs and serving others.
