Association Services of Florida (ASF), an Associa company,
raised approximately $5,000 in 2011 for Associa Cares, the
philanthropic arm of Associa that aids families who are affected by
tragedies.
ASF hosted several events throughout the year to benefit Associa
Cares, including a ‘Gala Night Out’ at the Bank Atlantic Center in
Florida and a ‘Bowling for Dollars’ night. Additionally, ASF found
a unique way that benefitted employees and got involved in the
cause.
“We made fundraising a part of our office culture and
environment. Plus we had some fun too. Once a month, staff could
donate $3 and wear jeans to work on Friday,” said George Skrbin,
senior vice president at Associa. “There are so many families whose
homes are affected by disasters, whether by flooding, fire or
storms. The employees were happy to dress down and happy to donate,
knowing their money was going to a great cause like Associa
Cares.”
Associa Cares is a national nonprofit 501(c)3 organization
created to assist families and communities in crisis as a result of
natural and man-made disasters. Through donations provided at
fundraising events across the country, Associa Cares is able to
provide necessary goods and services to the families affected by
these types of tragedies. If you know of a family who has been the
victim of a natural or man-made disaster, go directly to
