TRC’S Lowell Office Celebrates Earth Day
TRC’s Lowell office celebrated Earth Day Saturday, April 21st by participating
in a volunteer cleanup sponsored by TRC’s client, Groundwork Lawrence, a
non-profit dedicated to improving the environment through community-based
partnerships.
TRC’s Remediation Practice staffers and their families joined hundreds of volunteers to clean up parks, school yards, and river walks nearby TRC’s Brownfields
sites in Lawrence, including the award-winning Manchester Street Park. The
group was able to fill dozens of trash bags with litter and collect hundreds of
items for recycling.
TRC staffers Paul Arnold, John McRobbie,
Jamie Stapleton and Matt Robbins volunteered to help client Groundwork Lawrence
clean up Lawrence, MA.
JP Morgan Corporate Challenge
Led by team captain Bethany Beswick, 26 employees from TRC’s Liverpool,
NY office participated in the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge on June 18th at
Onondaga Lake Park in Syracuse, NY. The Corporate Challenge is a worldwide,
team-based series of 3.5 mile running events promoting health and fitness in
the workplace, goodwill and camaraderie among employees, and commitment
to the community and best environmental practices. The top teams in each of 13
cities go on to compete in the annual series championship.
Pat Hodson and Team TRC ran 3.5 miles to
support the YMCA of Greater Syracuse
This year’s race attracted 7,603 runners comprising 298 teams, making it the
second largest Corporate Challenge event to date. The Corporate Challenge
strives to make a difference through a donation to a not-for-profit organization
in each host city—the Syracuse event raised money for the YMCA of Greater
Syracuse’s Send a Kid to Camp Program, which offers underprivileged children
a chance to experience summer camp.
