RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., Oct. 6, 2008 – Samsung’s Four Seasons of Hope program, an innovative philanthropy initiative that combines the forces of major national retailers with sports, music and civic personalities, along with retail partner Circuit City today launched a retail promotion to help raise funds for The Dan Marino Foundation. Now through October 25, consumers can save up to $200 when purchasing select Samsung HDTVs with Circuit City’s firedogSM in-the wall installation. In addition, a portion of sales from all Samsung products sold in-store, online at www.circuitcity.com or by calling 1-800-THECITY will go to The Dan Marino Foundation.
Founded in 1992, The Dan Marino Foundation supports medical research, treatment, and outreach programs for children with chronic illnesses and developmental disabilities. The Foundation has raised more than $22 million to provide these programs and services that have benefited hundreds of thousands of children and their families. Dan Marino and his Foundation have been a part of Samsung’s Four Season of Hope since 2004.
“Dan Marino has become a icon in Samsung’s Four Seasons of Hope program since joining four years ago,” said D.J. Oh, president and CEO, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. “Since then, we have worked together to raise funds for his foundation and awareness for this important cause. We are honored to work with such a first-class athlete and philanthropist and we look forward to supporting the work that the Dan Marino Foundation does to help children and families in need for years to come.”
“Working with Dan Marino and Samsung’s Four Seasons of Hope has been a great opportunity for our entire company and for guests too,” said Jeff Maynard, vice president, marketing of Circuit City. “As a company, we are committed to helping those in need living in our immediate communities and we are proud to have a partner in Samsung who has the same goals and objectives when it comes to giving back.”
Samsung’s Four Seasons of Hope began in 2002. Since then, the program has raised more than $12 million to benefit children, families and communities in need.
