Local offices to hold fundraising events and
donate proceeds to local charities
C.H. Robinson, a global leader in third party logistics (3PL),
is hosting Robinson Cares events at its Miami offices throughout
September and October. The goal of the community giving campaign is
to raise $3,000 from its employees for local and national
charities.
On Sept. 10, employees participated in Feeding South Florida’s
4th Annual 24-Hour Hunger Action Month Sort-A-Thon, an organization
C.H. Robinson employees regularly volunteer with. To build upon
their success, employees will host a variety of events within the
offices during the week of Sept. 18 including raffles, company
lunches, and a silent auction. Capping off their Robinson Cares
events, employees will be tailgating and attending the Miami
Dolphins game on Oct. 23.
The charities the employees selected to give their donations to
include:
- Children’s Cancer Fund
- Feeding South Florida
- Humane Society of Broward County
“Our employees are the best in the logistics industry, and
making a difference in the communities in which we live, work and
play is at the heart of the culture at C.H. Robinson,” said Angie
Freeman, chief human resources officer at C.H. Robinson. “With the
expansion of Robinson Cares to cities across North America, our
employees are excited about the even bigger impact they will have
on our communities and neighbors.”
Over the last 17 years, C.H. Robinson’s corporate headquarters
in Eden Prairie, Minn. has hosted Robinson Cares Week the third
week of September, raising over $2.6 million for local and national
charities. To make a bigger impact, offices throughout North
America are participating in this initiative.
