Cadence's Charity Efforts - Update
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” -Anne Frank
Giving back has always been a huge part of our story and we are so grateful for the way our employees, valued partners, customers, and clients came together in 2019 to raise money for the charities we chose to support this year.
Together, we were able to cast a few small stones of our own in an effort to create ripples of meaning and lasting impact for issues that matter deeply to us, below are just some of the many ways we chose to give back and express our gratitude and support:
We continued our fight against human trafficking in partnership with ECPAT, which stands for “End Child Prostitution and Trafficking.” One of the ways we have been able to make a difference is by honoring GenerateHope, a non-profit organization that provides long-term housing and trauma-informed therapy, education, and vocational support to survivors of sex trafficking. At our 2019 annual holiday charity event, we were able to raise over $10,000 once again for the organization, the third year in a row we were able to raise funds for this incredible organization.
At our 2019 annual holiday charity event, we were able to raise $5,000 for Global Giving for the Hurricane Dorian Relief Fund
