It’s the latest example of the Stevens Point community coming together to raise funds for Maui fire victims. In mid-August Sentry announced a $275,000 contribution to relief efforts from its foundation, which was split up between the United Way of Maui and the University of Hawaii’s Maui campus. The Foundation also matched all employee donations to those causes as well, and will be matching all funds raised by Friday’s brat fry as well (up to $10,000).
Sentry has had longstanding ties to the islands though their sponsorsip of a golf tournament on the island. Those ties extend to the Boys & Girls Club through Sentry’s Connected Communities initative.
