Working Together
In addition to individual efforts, our offices often band together to tackle community service initiatives. Some highlights of our offices’ community service projects from last year include:
More Than A Walk In The Park – Dublin’ s Coffman Park plays a central role in the lives of residents, city leaders, local employees and visitors. In an effort to reinvest in the community, the Dublin team planted hundreds of sunflowers at the park for one of the Dublin Arts Council’ s“ Art in Public Places” exhibits. Employees also cleaned the stream and cleared away a mountain of brush.
Giving It Their Best Shot – Every fall The Knights Foundation in Zanesville hosts the Y-City Gun Fest to benefit Bishop Rosecrans High School and Bishop Fenwick Grade School. As the co-director of the event, Scott Moyer encouraged his office to get involved. This year, the organization raised more than $ 93,000, and since its inaugural event it has raised over $ 168,000.
Hometown Festivities – In an effort to support the Wooster community, Lesley Mast, David Shallenberger, Karin Schroer and Kealey Moore of our Wooster office volunteered their time to sell tickets and pour wine during the Wooster Chamber of Commerce’ s annual WoosterFest. continued >
