Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer employees donated time, money and supplies to the Henrico Humane Society during the first quarter of 2022 as part of its Thalhimer Gives program, a company-wide initiative focused on community involvement and charitable giving.
During the first three months of the year, Thalhimer associates raised $7,016 for Henrico Humane Society through Friday Jeans donations (a program that allows employees to wear jeans every Friday and make a $5 donation to the Thalhimer Gives partner organization, along with a company match).
They also partnered with Henrico Humane Society for volunteer opportunities and provided associates with paid time off to give back. Thalhimer associates volunteered their time for Pet Expo at the Richmond Raceway, helping to set up ahead of the organization’s signature event, and assisted at the weekend event with three different shifts throughout the day, helping check in vendors, sell tickets, check in online ticket-holders and assisting with traffic flow.
Thalhimer’s Richmond office also hosted “Bring Your Dog To Work” day, providing donation dollars to Henrico Humane Society through registration from participants. The day featured a dog walk in the afternoon with volunteers from HHS and four adoptable dogs.
And, company employees donated an assortment of items to the humane society, including dog and cat beds, treats and toys for both, as well as food items, and Amazon gift cards for the organization’s wish list.
“The hours that you have contributed, the supplies that you have collected, and the money that you have raised will have a major impact on the number of animals we are able to help this year,” Henrico Humane Society President Cara Salman told Thalhimer officials. “We are overwhelmed by your generosity and support."
Thalhimer President and CEO Lee Warfield said company employees embraced the opportunity to help.
“Our Thalhimer associates share a passion for their pets,” Warfield said. “Pets make people happy, and they deserve a good home. Kudos to HHS and the work that they do.”
