Cargill BiOH® teams with
WorldBed this month, kicking off an online campaign
to support disaster relief for countries like recently
ravaged Japan.
For every online “Like” BiOH®
receives April 4 - 22,
Cargill will donate one
dollar to the not-for-profit
organization, in any amount
up to $2,000. Each cot-sized
emergency relief field bed
costs around $38 and is
delivered by WorldBed to
people in need.
Every individual who “likes”
the
BIOH® fan page will
additionally be eligible to
receive one of four Target
store gift cards valued at
$50. Winners will be
selected at random and all
prizes will be distributed
after winning status is
verified.
Cargill’s Biobased
Polyurethanes business unit
is the maker of BiOH®
polyols, an ingredient for
flexible foam used in a host
of consumer products
including bedding,
mattresses, furniture,
carpet cushion, and
automotive seats, and is
made from renewable soybean
oil.
WorldBed was created in 2005
to aid victims of Hurricane
Katrina, and has since
provided relief beds
featuring specialized
three-inch water resistant,
medical grade covered foam
to citizens of Haiti, Chile,
Africa, and Japan. Anatomic
Global, a California-based
manufacturer of memory foam
sleep products, is the
organization’s founding
sponsor.
WorldBed’s goal is to
distribute 200,000 beds
worldwide to places and
people in need.
The BiOH® and WorldBed
donation giveaway period
will begin on April 4 at
midnight and close at
midnight on April 22, 2011.
