Deluxe Cause-Related Check Program Approaches $8 Million Landmark

Check program allows consumers to support worthy causes

ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deluxe Financial Services today announced that total contributions for its cause-related check program are nearing $8 million. The program, which allows consumers to convey their unique preferences and personalities through the checks they write, raises money for worthwhile organizations across the country.

"We are honored to provide consumers with products that enable them to express their personalities and make a difference," said Chuck Feltz, President, Deluxe Financial Services. "Our cause-related check program demonstrates our role as a community partner by allowing us to contribute to the same respected organizations that financial institutions and their customers support."

Deluxe donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each check package to the organization featured on the checks. Since 2000, the cause- related check program has contributed more than $700,000 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, through its Checks for the Cure(TM) package, to advance research and aid the fight against breast cancer.

Introduced in 1995, Deluxe's cause-related check program has contributed to a variety of meaningful organizations. Noteworthy recipients include Heroes Triumph, an organization supporting the victims of 9/11, and the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign. Deluxe cause-related check packages also raise money for Public Television and the Wyland Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting oceans and marine life. The program now nets over $1 million annually for these groups.

"Deluxe's cause-related check program has remained successful because it allows consumers to support causes close to their hearts," said Feltz. "The popularity of checks will not only ensure the success of the cause-related check program, but will allow us to continue to contribute to charitable organizations."
