Pat Catan's Partners with Viabella Holdings, LLC to Support The Up Side of Downs

STRONGSVILLE, Ohio, Sept. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, Pat Catan's is partnering with Viabella Holdings, LLC to support The Up Side of Downs of Northeast Ohio with a special promotion on Viabella greeting cards. During the entire month of September, $1 will be donated to The Up Side of Downs each time a customer buys three Viabella greeting cards at any Pat Catan's location.

"Supporting local charities and community organizations is an important aspect of any family owned business," said Pat Catan's CEO Mike Catanzarite. "This charity is near and dear to the Pat Catan's family, and we're looking forward to seeing how much money we can raise for The Up Side of Downs."

Pat Catan's gives back to the community regularly by donating a portion of the sale of each of its VIP store discount program memberships through the Catan Family Foundation. These sales benefit Pat Catan's Craft Stores partners including the American Cancer Society, the Cleveland Clinic and John Ownen's Adventure, Inc. Last year the donation to these three organizations totaled $9,000.

Pat Catan's also sponsors multiple free family events throughout the year in the communities that surround store locations including the annual Pat Catan's Kidsfest and Duck Race in Strongsville, Ohio.
