December 7th
What goes on at
6
A.M. on a Friday morning???
We can tell you what. While some of you were still cozy in your beds and some of
you were in your kitchen enjoying a hot cup of Java or Cocoa some of us were
outside freezing taking donations of non-perishable food items, frozen turkeys
and dollars.
Fluor
Canada has this amazing team
which works under the banner of Fluor Cares. This is a committee of dedicated
individuals who give their time organizing event days to raise money for
different charities.
We are very privileged
to have been invited back to be a part of their Jeans Day Event for the second
year in a row. This Event is staged so the Fluor Canada team members can wear
jeans to work on that day. The premise is very simple wear jeans to work and
bring a food or $$$ donation. To show the team member has donated they are given
a tag to wear. A simple idea indeed but the results are WOW!!!!. Fluor Cares
advertises this event as In Support of 18 Wheels of Christmas. (We are
headliners)
This event starts at
6AM when it is very cold
and goes until 9AM when it is a little
warmer (not much) and slowly we make our way into the lobby. Santa and his elf
Skippy hand out candy canes and warm wishes.
In 3 hours these team
members donated $3,423.45, 12 Food Bank gaylords of food and 5 frozen turkeys.
These donations came from 4 of their locations 2 in the Sunpark Plaza, 1 in
Quarry Park and 1 in Canyon
Meadows.
Thank you to all the
Fluor members!!!!!!
