CFI, an international truckload carrier based in Joplin, Mo., recently raised $20,000 through an in-house raffle to purchase Christmas gifts for local children and senior citizens.

Executive management donated prizes that were raffled to CFI employees. Raffle tickets were sold at $1 each. Proceeds from the fundraiser reached $20,000. In December, CFI employees participated in a shopping spree to purchase gifts for 100 senior citizens through the Empire District Electric Company’s Christmas Elf Network and for 345 children through the Salvation Army.
“Our employees raised an incredible sum of money,” says Herb Schmidt, president and CEO of CFI. “I’m very thankful for their commitment to help others. Many employees gave of their time to shop for gifts.”
CFI, founded in 1951, operates approximately 2,400 tractors and more than 7,400 trailers and transports a variety of goods throughout the contiguous United States and Canada. CFI’s web site can be found at www.cfi-us.com. CFI’s site is also available in Spanish, located at www.cfi-mx.com.
