In December,\u00a0Flatiron Construction employees and their families came\u00a0together to support the communities\u00a0where we work and live as part of the\u00a0Annual Giving Campaign. At offices and\u00a0project sites across North America, teams\u00a0raised money, donated food, collected\u00a0toys and volunteered for local charities.<\/p>\n
In Vancouver, the Flatiron holiday party\u00a0was all about giving back. At the event, employees raised C$5,000 through a\u00a0silent auction for Covenant House<\/a>, a\u00a0local charity that provides shelter 22bet casino reviewand\u00a0services to young people. Employees\u00a0also donated 85 toys to the Lower\u00a0Mainland Christmas Bureau<\/a> at the party.<\/p>\n In Southern California, employees\u00a0raised over $5,000 for the Make-A-Wish\u00a0Foundation<\/a> to help a young boy named\u00a0Cesar fulfill his dream of swimming with\u00a0dolphins. Flatiron matched the donation,\u00a0bringing the total to over $10,000.<\/p>\n Employees in San Diego teamed up\u00a0with the Ronald McDonald House<\/a>, an\u00a0organization that provides a \u201chome-away-from-home\u201d for families when\u00a0a child is hospitalized far from where\u00a0they live. Over 35 people volunteered\u00a0during the campaign, serving meals\u00a0and installing new beds at the facility.\u00a0Employees also donated hundreds of\u00a0toys for families staying in residence.<\/p>\n
