The Cape Girardeau and St. Louis area Culligan dealers partnered with former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Kyle McClellan to raise money for a drinking water system at an orphanage in Haiti. The dealers donated $10,103 to McClellan's not-for-profit, Brace for Impact 46. The project has provided a medical center, four water systems and more than 300 latrines. Culligan Cape Girardeau Co-op President Cindy Heuer said, "We're so grateful for the Culligan customers who contributed. Not only did they improve their own water, but they also helped to improve these children's water."
