The Link Companies surpasses $1 million in charitable giving after 2025 Call-a-Thon
The Link Companies announced its 2025 Call-a-Thon raised over $30,000 for charity — pushing the company past a major milestone: over $1 million donated to charitable causes in the last 10 years.
Held on June 25, the Call-a-Thon was a company-wide initiative benefiting Heart on Main Street and World Central Kitchen. For every July appointment booked — whether in-store, virtual or at market — The Link Companies donated $25 on behalf of the retailer. Thanks to a day of outreach and support from independent retailers, The Link exceeded its goal and has a record number of July appointments.
“Surpassing $1 million in charitable giving is a defining moment in our company’s 40-year history,” said Brad Rosenkampff, CMO/CPO of The Link Companies. “Giving back has always been at the heart of who we are, and to hit this milestone during our 40th Anniversary celebration — surrounded by incredible teammates, customers, and vendor partners — makes it even more meaningful. We’re honored to support these impactful organizations and grateful for the relationships that made it possible.”
The Call-a-Thon was powered by The Link’s 115 Territory Managers who mobilized their customers to book July appointments, many for the upcoming Atlanta Market. This effort set a new internal record for July appointments and laid the groundwork for a strong and connected Market season.
“We are incredibly grateful to The Link Companies and their outstanding sales team for their commitment to Heart on Main Street and World Central Kitchen during their recent Call-a-Thon,” Patrick Kaiser, executive director of Heart on Main Street, said. “Their efforts will directly support our mission to aid independent retailers rebuilding after natural disasters. This kind of support is more than just financial — it’s a powerful reminder that compassion and community spirit can make a real difference.”
Several retailers won prize giveaways throughout the day, totaling $400 in Visa gift cards. And the excitement isn’t over — one lucky retailer will win a 6-day, 5-night all-expenses-paid getaway for two to a five-star resort in Cancun. The winner will be drawn live from The Link showroom during One Night, One Heart, a special charitable event hosted by Heart on Main Street on July 17 at 5 p.m. during the Atlanta Market.
