Anthony & Sylvan Community Activities
We at Anthony & Sylvan are grateful for the support we have received from our customers and associates. One of the ways we show our appreciation is by honoring our obligations to society, by being a contributing member, both economically and socially, to the communities in which we do business. The hope is that society will be better, in part, due to our philanthropy and community leadership. We believe in supporting our local communities by being a good neighbor...and investing in our own backyard. From little leagues to public works projects, Anthony & Sylvan is giving back and working to make a difference.
Anthony & Sylvan is proud to support organizations such as The United Way and American Red Cross relief efforts to rebuild communities when disasters strike. Companywide, our employees annually contribute over $50,000 to United Way chapters through our companywide employee pledge drives and various fundraising events. These contributions help fund programs in health and human services agencies.
In addition, employees donate their time by participating in Days of Caring to help United Way agencies with much-needed projects such as painting or planting gardens, preparing and serving meals, and organizing events for seniors or children, etc. Participation not only showcases our volunteer spirit and commitment to making a difference in local communities, but also fosters our employees’ team spirit and morale while having fun.
The Southern California division is proud to contribute to various local community organizations that our employees are passionate about supporting. Some of these organizations include:
United Way
Our Southern California Division scheduled several events and activities throughout the year to build camaraderie among employees and vendors that raised funds for their local United Way agencies.
Their Bowl-a-thon was so much fun that there’s been talk of getting together to bowl again just for fun! Employees, vendors and their family members made a donation of $25 per bowler to join the competition. Thanks also to the bowling alley who offered reduced game and shoe rental fees.
A fall family picnic included activities for young and old alike -- egg tosses, sack races, a Halloween witch piñata full of treats, raffle prizes, and basketball.
And to further the team spirit with some friendly competition, Office Manager Kathy Martinez hosted a poker tournament at her home to raise funds for United Way.
Thanks to all the Southern California swimmin pool division employees, vendors, friends and family members who helped raise over $2,500 -- all the while having fun for a good cause.
