2008Nov. 2008 ConvenePro employees uncorked their community service spirit to serve the American Lung Association's Breath of Life gala and silent auction This annual event raises funds to support the ALA's mission to prevent lung disease and promote lung health, with a focus on advocacy, education and research. Following a company initiative and a new corporate SHE (Safety, Health, and Environment) policy, employees have banded together to make the office "greener" and reduce their carbon footprint. Day to day changes include the addition of more inclusive recycling bins, email signatures urging the recipient to consider the environment before printing, and donations to "Bluegrass PRIDE" (a local non-profit organization that provides environmental resources and information to schools, community groups, local government, and citizens) in exchange for a "casual day" during the month of December. ConvenePro, partnering with our sister company, Creative Educational Concepts, wrapped up the year with groups volunteering throughout the day at Lexington's 12th Annual Christmas Store. Many volunteers served as personal shoppers, helping marginalized parents and grandparents find gifts for the children in their lives. The weekend was a huge success; Over 8,000 children were shopped for and provided Christmas presents.
