Marlite team members participated in the 23rd Annual Christmas Tree Festival at the Warther Museum, by procuring and decorating a tree. Marlite’s tree “Candy Land” was the selection
of the People’s Choice Award for the favorite large tree. Proceeds from the Christmas Festival are donated to Union Hospital to be used for patient care improvements. Congratulations Marlite team!! Additionally, Marlite collected an additional $2,089 in the last two weeks for the Share a Christmas program, making a total of $30,000 for the year. A record amount! Thanks Marlite employees, suppliers, and friends!
