Credico volunteers raise highest amount at Chicago Cares Serve-a-thon

Credico's fundraising team gave up part of their weekend to revitalize a local elementary school by constructing plywood murals, creating tile mosaics and painting playground maps for the kids. The firm has volunteered for the last five consecutive years at the Chicago Cares Serve-a-thon, and the collective work undertaken this year by Chicago Cares saved CPS $3 million in facility improvements.

In addition to helping out over the weekend, an initial fundraising target of $5,000 had been set, and Credico's Chief Client Services Officer Jean Broaddus was delighted that this benchmark was surpassed in style:

"This year's event was a huge success. I want to say a big thank you to everyone who gave up their free time or donated to such an important cause. As promised, corporate is going to match the total figure we raised which embodies Credico's commitment to ensuring the next generation of Chicagoans thrive."

Credico, the innovative leaders in outsourced sales, understand the power of volunteering, and realize that it is necessary in order to build a stronger, more unified Chicago. Studies have shown that students and teachers perform better in work environments that are stimulating and visually enticing, and the collective effort by all fundraising teams at the Serve-a-thon will send positive messages to Chicago's students and help them succeed upon their return in August.

"Credico would like to congratulate Chicago Cares for piecing together another successful event in our community, and we already look forward to volunteering again next year," stated Jean Broaddus.
