Most
recently, the COA community effort was an Ice Cream Social to raise funds
and school supplies as a back-to-school event.
Tiffany
Oldham, of the COA, said, “A school supply drive is an easy way to have
a profound impact on teachers and their students’ learning experiences.
Lucky for us, we knew a couple of local teachers in need of supplies. So,
our Committee of Awesomeness rolled up their sleeves to scoop some ice
cream!”
The
great event not only raised money to buy school supplies but also collected
a plethora of supplies ranging from notepads to markers from team members
and leaders.
“We
are pleased to stand by these important causes whose work supports families
and children,” said Tom Lyons, President and CEO of Global Connections
and a devoted community philanthropist. “Our Global Team is always ready
to participate in fundraisers and charitable events to make the lives of
others better.”
