Cork Brigade helps Wind Foundation for Women
July 19, 2010
Cork Brigade helps Wind Foundation for Women provide scholarships for older women studying for non-traditional jobs
Partnering with TerraCycle, goal is a million corks in a year
Linda Wind was looking for unique ways to fund Wind Foundation for Women, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization she recently founded to provide academic scholarships and mentoring for women in non-traditional job fields. The dynamic founder of Wind Enterprises and the annual Possible Woman Conferences wanted to combine doing good with going green.
“I learned that collecting ‘waste’ materials can raise funds and help the environment,” says Wind. “Why not try to collect a million corks in a year? That would make a statement and help fund our scholarships and mentoring!”
Wind is partnering with TerraCycle, a manufacturer of some 50 eco-friendly products sold at major retailers like Walmart and Target. TerraCycle also runs national collection programs that pay non-profits to collect used packaging. In Dallas, Wind Foundation advisor Cheryl Jensen, a leadership consultant and executive coach, has recruited 50+ restaurants and wine bars to participate in the Cork Brigade.
Anyone can participate – call Linda Wind to find out how to sign up to ‘get paid for trash.’ It’s really easy and takes about two minutes to get registered. Restaurants and other establishments should contact Linda at 972-724-3646, 770-856-4767 or Linda@WindEnterprises.com.
Scholarships funded by the Cork Brigade will be presented at the next Possible Woman Conference, scheduled for April 27, 2011 in Atlanta.
