LET US
INTRODUCE YOU
TO THE PLUM
ANGEL FUND
Jeans, comfortable shoes
and the opportunity to
make a positive impact…
Why not?
I
n the often “buttoned-up” world of
government, casual Fridays have
become desirable days where Boro
personnel welcome the opportunity
to dress down. Thanks to our team
of generous employees, Plum Borough
Administrative Staff started a tradition
to help those in need while dressing
casually.
Donations are collected from Boro
Staff in exchange for “Casual Fridays”, this
money is saved throughout the year to
help provide for needy Plum families at
Christmas. In our efforts, to help more
families during the holiday season,
donations were also accepted at FallFest
for the pony rides and at the carriage
ride during Christmas at Plum Creek. A
big thank you to the Plum Area Youth
Soccer Association who recently heard
about the Angel Fund and donated as
well. If you would like to donate to help
Plum families in need, contact events@
plumboro.com
Early in the holiday season, we work
with the Plum School District to obtain
a wish list from families of students who
are going through a financially difficult
time. Staff members then shop to make
holiday wishes come true for these
angels. For one afternoon, our conference
room turns into the North Pole, where
busy elves wrap, tag and ribbon the gifts!
Not only does the Plum Angel Fund
help those in need, it encourages
team spirit at the workplace leading to
motivation and productivity.
Since the start of the Casual Friday
program in 2011, we have donated
$7,545 to these Plum Angels and their
families.
Our staff is excited to be able to give
back to our community and enjoy Casual
Fridays. We hope visitors to the Boro
Building don’t mind these dress-down
days as they are for a good cause!
