In these boxes you’ll find treasures

Once belonging to my sons, all three

Each one represents a memory, of

A special time for me.

 

Jeff’s smile as he won a tournament

Or Chris as he ran to first base

Then there was Dan who wrestled

Each one had his own sport, this was the case.

 

Lessons learned in childhood

No matter what the game

Play fair, do your best, try hard

All learned by them the same

 

Time has passed, they are grown men

For these treasures there is no longer a need

But if to another child a smile they bring

With our effort we will succeed!

 

The boy who was a wrestler,

As a doctor now mends with gifted hands.

And the child who ran so fast to first base,

Teaches other kids as he conducts his school band.

The hockey player, who on defense

Kept the opponents score low,

Now carriers a gun as a Federal Officer,

As off to work he goes.

 

Now I must end my little poem,

For I’m off to the rink for another hockey game.

I’ll watch my grandson score a goal,

Then a trophy he will earn.

And as he goes along his way,

Life’s lesson he will learn.

AwardsMall.com /Total Awards & Promotions, in Madison, Wisconsin, declares its recycled trophy program is a huge success. People have been using the US Postal Service, UPS, and FED EX to send their gently used awards to the company for recycling. Volunteers from the company work several hours a day to ready the awards for donating to 501C3 charitable organizations all over the country.

Right now, the company has an over-abundance of awards to work on, and asks that people email or call to find out when they can send their awards.

Also, AwardsMall.com / Total Awards & Promotions is encouraging the public to tell charities in their home areas to apply for the awards.

Recycled trophies are also for sale on the web site and profits go to support the program.

Dear friends,

Thanks to all of you, our warehouse is jammed to the rafters, right now, with trophies to be recycled. Now, we need your help with distribution of the recycled awards. Please tell your local non profits (must be a 501c3 to apply) that they can go to our web site http://www.AwardsMall.com, and click on recycled trophies on the left bar, to apply for free awards.

Thank you for partnering with us in this effort to help charitable agencies and to keep old awards out of landfills. This program is not part of an income stream for our company, so we do appreciate your help.

We also thank you for your business.

Thank you.

After 20 years of accepting old trophies and awards for recycling, we are now offering them for sale to support the Trophy Recycling Program. Boxes arrive from all over the country with trophies and awards everyday. People come with van loads, and travel far distances to donate their old treasures.

Since our facility is getting filled, and our recyclers can’t keep up, we need to start moving box loads out. You can help support your local charities by purchasing these recycled awards, and help us continue the recycling program by telling your local non-profits.

Go To AwardsMall.com for more information

Boxes of used awards are arriving, daily, from all over the country by mail, UPS, Fed Ex, and delivery trucks at Total Awards & Promotions/AwardsMall.com, on Mineral Point Road in Madison. The company is recycling gently used awards to donate to non profits for their use. Non-profits get these awards at NO COST. The company cleans them up, refurbishes them, puts new figures on them, and re-engraves them, all so that non profits can recognize their volunteers, and use them for fund raising events. This is the company’s way of paying it forward.

Since this recycled trophy program appeared on our web site, we began getting several big boxes a day from New York to California and all points in between. They come by mail, UPS, Fed Ex, and some people even load pick up trucks and drive them here. Some come with great stories of how the donor wants these passed on and enjoyed instead of being cast into a landfill. Now we need to make area charities aware that this program is available to them.

Please Help!
