October Mission Moment: A Thirst for Support: Chesterman Coca-Cola Raises $8,000 for LPS Booster Clubs

This summer, Chesterman Coca-Cola joined forces with the Foundation for Lincoln Public Schools to quench the thirst of students and support our local high school booster clubs. From June 3rd to August 31st, a portion of every sale of an 8-pack of Powerade at B&R Stores was generously donated to the fundraiser.

Thanks to the unwavering support of our community and Chesterman Coca-Cola's generous partnership, over $8,000 will be distributed between the eight LPS high schools. These funds will directly benefit the booster clubs, providing essential resources for our student-athletes and enriching their extracurricular experiences.

“We were grateful to team up with B&R stores to raise funds for the benefit of LPS athletic departments. At Chesterman Co. Coca-Cola, we strongly believe in making the communities we serve better places to live. We’re proud of our partnership with Lincoln Public Schools and the Foundation for LPS, and we will continue to find ways to show our support. Our recent Powerade Program with B&R Stores demonstrates our commitment to LPS and we’re excited for even more to come,” said Brian Gilliland, Chesterman Coca-Cola, General Manager Greater Nebraska.

Thank you to Chesterman Coca-Cola, B&R stores, and the community for your partnership and participation in this refreshing fundraiser!
