Each year, Cellino Plumbing Heating & Cooling runs an Annual Truck Wrap Contest for the nonprofits in our community. The contest mimics the March Madness bracket. Nonprofit organizations are nominated for the contest and then added to a voting bracket where they go head-to-head with competing organizations. The community can participate and vote on the bracket throughout the entirety of the contest. The winner of the Truck Wrap Contest then has the opportunity to create a design that will be co-branded on one of the trucks in our fleet. Along with that, the winning organization receives a monthly donation check throughout the entirety of the year.
What is the Truck Wrap Contest?
One of the biggest ways Cellino Plumbing Heating & Cooling gives back to our community is through our Annual Truck Wrap Contest. Each year, we host a contest that is set up like a March Madness basketball bracket. Nonprofit organizations are nominated for the contest and then added to a voting bracket where they go head-to-head with competing organizations. The community can participate and vote on the bracket throughout the entirety of the contest.
Who can be nominated?
Any nonprofit organization (501c3) in Erie County may be nominated for the contest. The first round is a nomination/general round and runs from 2/12-2/26. From there, the 64 nonprofits with the MOST votes will be moved forward to the voting bracket rounds.
