Primax and the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Announce Fourth Annual Gift Drive --
Making the Holidays Merrier for Kids

WAKEFIELD, MA (December 18, 2008) — For the fourth year in a row, Primax and their employees have teamed up with the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC) to provide holiday gifts for 40 children. 

Primax “elves” filled a conference room with toys, clothes and lots of goodies.  "We are excited to be part of making the children's holiday brighter,” stated Ted Keith, CEO of Primax.  “Charitable giving is part of what makes the holidays special."  

"In these difficult economic times, the families we serve are struggling to pay the rent and buy groceries.   There is very little money left over for Christmas presents,” said Marylou Sudders, President of MSPCC.  “The generosity and support of Primax and their employees' make a big difference in the lives of the children.  Their on-going commitment to MSPCC is to be commended."
