Stanley Gives Back

The Stanley Works Company started a fundraiser called Stanley Gives Back, a year-long competitive charity event which involved each branch and division of Stanley worldwide. The objective is to support and encourage our surrounding communities through the combination of fundraising events, volunteer charity work, donation collection and community outreach. Through it all, we remember our gifts, and realize that giving back to those less fortunate, in a fun way, will also build our own community at work.  At the end of the year Stanley tallies up all the volunteer hours and monetary donations and the winners in specific categories will receive a check from Stanley to donate to whatever charity we desire. The categories were: most money raised, most volunteer hours donated and most unique charity event. Our branch won for the most volunteer hours and actually came in 3rd for the most money raised. 
  
Our branch volunteered a total of 1202.50 hours of time in 2008.  Over 900 hours came from myself, Cheryl Ferguson, for fostering cats & kittens, making fleece blankets, and selling T-Shirts and tote bags.  Our branch won $5,000.00, of which Strays HH received a check for $3,000.00 to help them in their endless mission of rescuing stray and abandoned animals.

Strays Halfwau House thanks Cheryl and Stanley Works Corporation for their hard work and generous donation to our organization.
