Ricoh and Heidelberg Join Forces to Give Back and Raise Awareness at PRINTING United

Ricoh USA Inc. has announced, together with Heidelberg USA, it will showcase its commitment to giving back to society at the inaugural PRINTING United in Dallas, Oct. 23-25. For every badge scanned at the Ricoh booth 7001, a charitable donation will be made to its long-standing partner, the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), which supports wounded military veterans and service members.There will also be special times when attendees can double their donation via a raffle for a Wounded Warrior gift basket. Additionally, Heidelberg USA will honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating $1.00 for every badge scan in booth 10143 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF).The WWP’s mission is to support veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound while serving in the military on or after September 11, 2001. Ricoh is a proud supporter of this organization and its commitment is reflected across all areas of Ricoh’s business – nationally, within local communities and with employees. Most recently, Ricoh participated in Military Makeover: Operation Career airing on Lifetime TV during which three military veterans who work for Ricoh discussed their military service, highlighted Ricoh’s initiatives to support veterans and shared personal stories of what those initiatives mean to them. Also, this year, Ricoh hosted its fifth annual Run for Heroes event, which raises funds for veterans’ charities. Additionally, the company has increased its focus on veteran hiring in recent years, an effort recognized with the Best Veteran Hiring Award from the Coalition for Government Procurement.“What makes Ricoh special is our team and we are proud that many of them, including family members, partners, and customers have served in the military. When planning for PRINTING United, we quickly realized that nothing would be more true to the Ricoh Way or closer to our hearts, than to raise awareness and donations for a charity that does so much for our print community and for society at large,” said Heather Poulin, senior director of marketing, Commercial Printing Business, Ricoh USA Inc. “We’re thrilled that our partners, like Heidelberg, are also focusing their efforts at this exciting, inaugural event to give back. The print industry has long been known to come together for the greater good, and this is a prime example of that in action..
