ANAHEIM, Calif. — To help increase donations that will
benefit NCART, NRRTS and AAHomecare, MK Battery announced July 12
that it will match sponsorships for its Power for Funding 2011
event at Medtrade — up to the first $50,000 — in
addition to $50,000 the company has already committed to underwrite
the networking event. Sponsorship opportunities are available
ranging from $1,000 to $25,000, with proceeds going to each of the
three organizations.

According to Wayne Merdinger, MK's vice president of business
development and international sales, "This event is worthy of the
additional financial commitment. We want to bring suppliers of all
sizes into the fold to support our vital industry initiatives and
we hope that our example will spur others to step up and join
us."

The event will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Oct. 25 at the Omni
Hotel in Atlanta. Tickets will be available to all providers. For
