FLUORTASTIC!!!!!!!!


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!!!!!!
