TrueNorth's Casual for a Cause

posted by TrueNorth Companies on Friday, March 31, 2017

TrueNorth is founded on a passion for the community where our employees live, conduct business, and raise our families.

That passion has become the cornerstone of our company - both from a business standpoint and as an employer. We are proud to be involved in communities across the country from a financial standpoint and also as a volunteer. That is why every year, TrueNorth's Casual for a Cause team organizes an array of fundraising activities for the TrueNorth team that range from themed bake sales and cooking contests to kickball tournaments, coloring contests, and airplane throwing competitions. 

Here are a few of TrueNorth's Casual for a Cause accomplishments over the past 3 years: 

• 2012: voted runner-up in the Corridor Business Journal's Best in the Corridor as Most Philanthropic (small business division).
• 2014: last year's annual charitable giving efforts generated $300,000 to community-based charitable organizations and logged 400+ volunteer hours to various organizations in need. 
• 2015: Earlier this year, the Casual for a Cause team was recognized as Outstanding Group Volunteers by Families Helping Families of Iowa.
• 2016: to date, TrueNorth has raised a total of $5,254.25 this year for three different charitable organizations.
