Casual Jeans Friday
Pays It Forward!
Many Siebert Team Members have been paying $5 each Friday for the privilege of wearing jeans to work, but with an added bonus. This has also been our way of raising money for local charities. It's been a Win-Win for all! We plan to continue Casual Jeans Friday into the future as our way of "Paying It Forward" in our community. The following outlines the various charities we gave to in 2016.
One of our Pool Vendors with Clearblue Pools, Chris Ramsey, suffered a heart attack and stroke last Christmas. This GoFundMe account was set up to help his family with medical expenses and household bills. Chris is also a dedicated Va. Beach firefighter.

Susan G. Komen - Breast Cancer Awareness
In October, we dedicated a Friday to help raise money in support of Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. We’re proud to say we raised a lot of money
this year, and the company generously matched that amount to be donated to
the Susan G. Komen Foundation: http://ww5.komen.org
