What was your favorite part about volunteering with the Sun Prairie kids triathlon?
Our PPD volunteers enjoyed supporting the kids as they swam, biked and ran to raise money for important health and fitness programs in local schools. When Katie Hensel, Executive Director & Founder from Tri 4 Schools came to PPD to speak, employees were impressed to see the real changes being made in schools thanks to the money raised through Tri 4 Schools events.
How do you think these efforts benefit your employees and customers?
Volunteering at an event such as Tri 4 Schools gives people an opportunity to connect with their fellow employees and other members of the community as we work toward the common goal of improving children’s health. Employees benefit from feeling engaged in their local community and feel good about their contributions to a worthy cause.
