At its five-year anniversary celebration, Promotion Execution Partners marked the launch of its partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America with a $500 donation.
The donation initiates a year-long commitment PEP has made to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Volunteer events, during and outside work hours, will be arranged for PEP employees to share their personal commitment to the long-standing charity.
Each year PEP, headquartered in Cincinnati, selects a charity that its employees can support through volunteer efforts and fundraising. The Boys and Girls Clubs of America is a perfect fit this year as PEP continues to expand into other regions of the U.S. and hopes to engage employees at all office locations.
PEP is dedicated to the communities in which it operates and to being a charitable corporate citizen. This donation is just one small part of PEP’s community service efforts.
“Our employees are pleased to be able to give back to the community with our treasure and talent,” PEP President Dave Kroeger said. “They are passionate about the work of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America and impressed by the tremendous difference their organization makes in the community. We are glad we are able to assist them.”
PEP will be working closely with the Clem & Ann Buenger Club in Newport, Ky. PEP employees worked with Katie Hollstegge, Development Coordinator; and Joe Seither Program Director, to coordinate upcoming special events.
Katie Hollstegge was on hand for the anniversary celebration July 23 at the Cincinnati Art Museum to receive the check, along with Boys and Girls Clubs former-member-turned-employee, Iassca Jackson.
Hollstegge was happy to be a part of the official kick off. “We are excited to have PEP employees volunteer at the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Cincinnati. This year, we have more kids to serve with fewer funds. The support from PEP will help us continue to provide quality programs on a daily basis for youth who need us the most.”
The special events and volunteering efforts are scheduled to begin in early September, at the start of the fall season for the Clubs and will continue throughout the year.
