Volunteer Spotlight - UPS (United Parcel Service)
Over the past year, more than 40 UPS employees, families and friends gave nearly 275 hours of their time to St. David's Center.
In August 2010, they donated hundreds of hours of hard work to demolish our 16-year-old toddler playground and then returned later that month to build the first toddler playground in Minnesota that combines inclusive and natural play elements. Within weeks, members of the UPS leadership team finished several landscaping projects on the playground. More than 125 children of all abilities now run, jump and roll on it every day.
In March 2011, UPS and other volunteers checked coats, sold raffle tickets, gathered auction items and introduced BidPal to more than 550 guests at our 50th Anniversary Gala. The event raised more than $100,000 than last year, with gross revenue totaling $320,000.
Thank you, UPS, for giving so generously of your time and talents to support our organization!
