Bunnies Invade BMW Manufacturing
The entrance way to BMW Manufacturing is lined with about 250 Easter baskets for The United Way’s annual “Be a Bunny" campaign. The campaign, which is designed to reach children and senior citizens, allows BMW Associates and contractors the opportunity to provide a traditional Easter basket or assemble a customized basket with specific items the recipient needs, such as candy and stuffed animals for children to bath supplies, books and crossword puzzles for adults. Associate Fran Hinson and her sisters (pictured here) created 23 baskets. Associate Marty Smith and his wife, Dian, donated 200 Beanie Babies to go with the baskets.
