Giving Back

Congratulations to our Tampa team on an extremely successful United Way Month of Caring Campaign!

The month-long campaign consisted of community service, internal events and a capital raising campaign.

Most notably, Tampa set a goal of raising $22,500 from September 15, 2016 - October 15, 2016 and surpassed their

goal by $4,600! The grand total for the 2016 Campaign was $27,100! A 59% increase in capital raising from 2015!

An amazing feat!

TAMPA UNITED WAY

In addition to the money raised, the team participated in

several activities including:

Tour of the 2-1-1 Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, a

United Way partner, that provides over 4,000

services for people in need in the Tampa Bay area.

Great Bowls of Fire Game Day Chili Cook-Off,

where 10 employees squared off and competed

to be the Great Bowls of Fire Game Day Chili

Champion. Chili bowls were $1 / tasting for hungry

employees and this event alone raised $369. Todd

Tolbert’s chili came out victorious.

Tropical Day & Silent Auction where employees

enjoyed tropical cocktails while bidding on new

or nearly new items brought in from their fellow

Tampa colleagues with proceeds from the silent

auction going to the United Way. The hottest

auction item was custom invites designed by

Tampa’s own Marketing Maven, Shannon Breher.

United Way’s Day of Caring where the Tampa

team gave back at two local non-profits. One

group spent the day at Metropolitan Ministries

where the team worked in the kitchen assisting

with meal prep and in the warehouse where they

sorted clothes and other donated items. A second

group volunteered at Sterling Heights Senior

Nutrition Center where volunteers organized

games with local Tampa senior citizens and

assisted with lunch service.
