We are dedicated to making a positive impact on our community through various initiatives. This year, the Phillip Jeffries team has participated in numerous activities, both locally and internationally, to support those in need and contribute to the well-being of our environment.
Special Olympics
This event is one of our employee's favorite times of the year! Last weekend, members of our team and their families volunteered at a Special Olympics bowling event at T-Bowl Lanes. Our volunteers took on roles such as escorting athletes to their lanes, keeping score, announcing winners, and handing out medals. The most important task was cheering on the athletes, and thanks to our volunteers' dedication, the event was a huge success.
"I had quite an experience and truly learned from the players," said Anne-Marie Brown, a PJ Contract Sales Representative. "We were inspired by their determination, planning, teamwork appreciation and more!"
A big thank you to everyone who participated and made a difference in the athletes' day.
International Efforts
Our international teams have been busy with various initiatives including a clothing and back-to-school drive to support local families in need in Paris. Our London team also supported a local soup kitchen by chopping vegetables, cleaning, and serving meals to those in need.
LA Wildfires
In total, we have donated nearly $10,000 to the LA Wildfires including participating in design events in LA, Chicago and at PJ headquarters. Thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers and team members who made these events happen. Together we have been able to make a big impact.
Raising Awareness, Funds, and Having Fun
Earlier this year, members of the PJ Cares team organized a PJ Fantasy Football league and we were able to make a generous donation to the Autism Science Foundation. To build on this success, we will host a bake sale and blood drive to support autism acceptance during Autism Acceptance Month in April.
