550 Mazars Employees Volunteer At Community Organizations In Six States For Third Annual "Days Of Service"
NEW YORK, July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mazars USA LLP, a leading accounting, tax, and consulting firm, recently completed its third annual Days of Service – a volunteer initiative that encourages employees to devote a full work day to assisting local service agencies. The Days of Service initiative is part of the firm's "We Are Mazars" program, which fosters employees' personal and professional growth through the tenets of association, respect and excellence.
More than 550 employees, including 70 partners, took part in the Days of Service on May 31, June 7 and June 14. Participants spent the day at more than 30 community and non-profit programs in New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Maryland, Philadelphia, Sacramento and Chicago. Activities ranged from gathering supplies for area students to supporting the local chapter of national non-profit organizations, such as:
- Working with New York City school children in many different ways, including encouraging students to learn about math through Math & Movement at P.S. 149, making volcanos at P.S. 208 and doing a scavenger hunt with students from P.S. 147 at the American Museum of Natural History.
- Stuffing 1,000 gift bags for the Make-a-Wish Foundation of New Jersey annual fundraising gala.
- Partnering with the Long Island Volunteer Center Head Start program to coordinate and participate in field day with children 2-5 years old, and revitalize the grounds by planting flowers.
- Reading to students during the 13th Annual Read to Me Early Literacy Storyteller event in Philadelphia.
"With your assistance, our students and school have an increased sense of pride about our garden and our school store and we cannot thank you enough for taking the time to support our school," said Claudine Tantillo, Principal of the Westlake School in Westfield New Jersey, a special needs school for students between the ages of 10 and 21 who are multiply disabled and/or autistic.
Altogether, Mazars' volunteer corps brought smiles and joy to hundreds of people in need and the dedicated organizations serving them.
"We are very proud of how much our Days of Service program has grown in just three years," said Victor Wahba, Chairman and Chief Executive Office of Mazars USA LLP. "While our teams are located all over the U.S., during these days of service we all become connected in supporting our local communities. It's all part of a spirit of team building and collaboration, which is so integral to the values of Mazars USA."
