"I am pleased to be emailing you today to let you know that our local office of Towers Watson has held its 4th annual 'Cans and Cash' (previously known as 'cans and coins' but we upped the 'coins' to 'cash' this year!) drive to benefit Gifts of Love and Foodshare. We collected over $800 in assorted food items which we will deliver to Gifts of Love in Avon. We are also excited to tell you that we have raised $2,731.00 in cash donations which we will be sending to Foodshare. In addition to the money donated by our employees, our corporate office made a pledge to match any funds up to $2,500.00 and as such, we will be sending a total of $5,231.00 to Foodshare.
"While Towers Watson is a world-wide corporation, we are a small office in Weatogue. While a large part of the employee donations was made by two individuals ($1,500), the remainder of the donations of approximately $1,200 come from an office of less than 100 people. Some are old, some are young, some have been here for a short while, some have been here for many, many years. Everyone gave what they could and I think the outcome speaks volumes about the type of employees we have working in this office.
"In praise and thanks for all that you do,"
