We try to be creative with our giving. Money has been raised through shaving heads, wearing jeans to work on Friday’s and doing walks/runs throughout Cleveland. There is also a giving tree every year for the holidays and donations made to the Charites above. One of our most fun outings is when we get to cook dinner for our friends at the Cleveland Hope Lodge. This time together and with our friends at The Hope Lodge really helps us understand how what we do in the market daily basis can help our community.
If you have a project of a charity that you think we could be involved with as a team, please feel free to contact Rita Gaertner, Director of Marketing at rgaertner@beveragedist.com.
