Working Together
In addition to individual efforts , our offices often band together to tackle community service initiatives . Some highlights of our offices ’ community service projects from last year include :
More Than A Walk In The Park – Dublin ’ s Coffman Park plays a central role in the lives of residents , city leaders , local employees and visitors . In an effort to reinvest in the community , the Dublin team planted hundreds of sunflowers at the park for one of the Dublin Arts Council ’ s “ Art in Public Places ” exhibits . Employees also cleaned the stream and cleared away a mountain of brush .
Giving It Their Best Shot – Every fall The Knights Foundation in Zanesville hosts the Y-City Gun Fest to benefit Bishop Rosecrans High School and Bishop Fenwick Grade School . As the co-director of the event , Scott Moyer encouraged his office to get involved . This year , the organization raised more than $ 93,000 , and since its inaugural event it has raised over $ 168,000 .
Hometown Festivities – In an effort to support the Wooster community , Lesley Mast , David Shallenberger , Karin Schroer and Kealey Moore of our Wooster office volunteered their time to sell tickets and pour wine during the Wooster Chamber of Commerce ’ s annual WoosterFest . continued >
