October 22, 2006 - Chicago, Illinois
PLS Payday Loan Store locations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Illinois, Mississippi, and Wisconsin donated a total of $18,000 to community schools. The donations were part of a Back to School promotion, in which customers nominated local schools to receive $200 donations. The winning schools were selected with drawings held at each PLS Payday Loan Store on August 26, 2006. PLS Payday Loan Store donated $5,000 to elementary and high schools in Illinois and $4,800 to Wisconsin schools. Arizona schools received $3,400, while donations to Mississippi schools totaled $3,000. "A good education is the key to our children's future," says Charlie Murphy, executive vice-president of Chicago-based PLS Payday Loan Store. "PLS is committed to being a good neighbor and helping our community schools stay strong."
