MAJESTIC SALES OF MARSHFIELD DONATES $100,000.00 at 2003 Annual Meeting!
The Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield held its Annual Meeting of the Corporation at the Bridgewaye Inn last night. This meeting is a business event at which new members join the Corporation and Club business is discussed. Club President, Bill Bowers, announced the commencement of the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield - Founder's Campaign to raise $550,000.00 over the next 4 to 5 years to enable the establishment of the club and its operation in the coming years Jack and Beth Griffin, owners of Majestic Sales of Marshfield, brought us much closer to that goal by presenting the Club with a $10,000.00 check and a pledge of $100,000.00 to the Club over the next ten years. The Griffin's waited until the sizable crowd had left before they presented the check to the Board of Directors. This is not the first time Majestic Sales and the Griffins have given to the Club. Before presenting the check last night, the Griffins were the single largest contributors to the Boys & Club since its inception (second highest being Blue Cross & Blue Shield with a $10K donation). The Griffins were last year's recipients of the Boys & Girls Club's Benefactor of the Year Award which goes to the person or organization that raises the most money for the Club. Majestic Sales holds a company outing every year with a live auction and donates the proceeds to the Boys & Girls Club. Beth Griffin also orchestrates the Annual Haunted House at the Marshfield Fairgrounds that raises between 8-10K each year for the Club. Their fundraising efforts both Corporate and personally are to be commended. Bowers stated that "the Griffins contribution helps to set the tone of the Founder's Campaign. Not only have they been more than generous from a financial standpoint, they have been tremendous friends to the Club by donating their time and talents also." Majestic Sales Corporation just celebrated its tenth year of operation in March of 2003. Initially selling closeouts, Majestic has blossomed to a full-scale wholesaler, servicing smaller drug and mass merchandiser chains as well as neighborhood stores located in larger urban settings. Headquartered in Marshfield, Massachusetts, Majestic currently services retail customers through their distribution centers in Massachusetts, Ohio, Maryland, California, Texas, Connecticut and Florida. Plans are currently unfolding for their eighth distribution center in the Seattle area and once national coverage is achieved, Majestic will explore the international marketplace.
