Why: Goodwill Industries of Metropolitan Chicago sees this donation challenge as a way for the organization to publicize it’s commitment to the environment through reusing, reducing and recycling, and do so with a promotion that is fun and exciting with well-respected sports figure Patrick Sharp, of the Chicago Blackhawks.
