Springfield, IL – 9/6/24 – Del’s Popcorn Shop is proud to celebrate another meaningful fundraising success. Together with the friends and family of Barbie Jo, we raised over $40 through our virtual popcorn fundraiser, donated directly to the ALS Association in her memory.
“The ALS Association in memory of Barbie Jo is a great example of a worthy cause. They met all the criteria for us as a long-term community partner,” explained Ellie Gross, Del’s national sales manager. “We love these teams, and we love these stories. We are so happy we can play a part in their journey.”
ALS Association in Memory of Barbie Jo
This fundraiser was organized in loving memory of Barbie Jo, also known as Barbie Williams—a cherished local bartender who was well known throughout the Springfield area. Barbie Jo passed away from ALS in October 2022, and since then, her friends and family have passionately continued her legacy by raising awareness and funds for the ALS Association.
Every dollar raised from this popcorn fundraiser contributes directly to the ALS Association’s mission to find a cure and support those affected by ALS.
Del’s Popcorn Shop
Del’s is a gourmet retail popcorn and confectionery based in Springfield, IL. Del’s was stitched into the fabric of Central Illinois at a time after the Great Depression and before World War II. The ingredients and approach to creation are reminiscent of a bygone era. At a time when bootstrapping the American Dream was very much in bloom, an entrepreneur by the name of John Baldwin began to sell popcorn and candy from his print shop. Del’s has been serving the Central Illinois community ever since.
Del’s has an extensive menu of cooked-from-scratch popcorn and confectionery products, including seasoned popcorn, cheddar cheese popcorn, caramel corn, fudge, peanut brittle, and caramel apples. The Company has a devoted customer base of all ages, which spans generations. In recent years, Del’s has expanded to offer its favorite products nationwide at www.delspopcornshop.com. Del’s has also become a go-to option for non-profits, schools, and other community organizations to raise money through Del’s Virtual Popcorn Fundraising platform.
If you're feeling inspired by this story and are interested in starting a fundraiser of your own, we’d love to help. Del’s makes it simple and rewarding to raise money for causes close to your heart.
