Jeans For Charity Program Supports the Boys and Girls Clubs and Upstate New York Transplant Services (unyts)

Rochester, N.Y. – Continental Service Group, Inc., d/b/a ConServe, makes giving back to the community a priority. Towards that goal, the generous employees at ConServe, in conjunction with the company’s “Matching Gift Program”, donated its July Jeans For Charity proceeds to two organizations that make an impactful difference in people’s lives. Through their ongoing philanthropic program, ConServe employees can elect to participate in monthly charitable donations in exchange for the option of wearing jeans to work. Their company-wide charity program allows both the employees and the organization as a whole to support a wide range of community investment efforts, thereby engaging and inspiring employees while also reinforcing ConServe’s outstanding corporate citizenship. Employees not only embrace ConServe’s mission of fostering relationships within their community but also take pride in doing the right thing, at the right time, the right way.

In the month of July, the ConServe team made donations to the Boys and Girls Clubs of both Rochester and Buffalo, as well as Unyts (Upstate New York Transplant Services). Rebecca Youmell, PR and Marketing Manager of the Boys & Girls Club of Rochester, had the following remarks in response to the ConServe team’s generosity: "The generous donation from ConServe, through its Jeans for Charity fundraiser, helps enhance our programming and makes more opportunities possible for our Club members. We greatly appreciate the support of ConServe and its employees."

About ConServe’s Jeans For Charity program

ConServe’s Jeans For Charity initiative began in 2008 when the team’s employees had an idea to launch a program that would provide a way for the company’s mission of “improving the human condition” to coordinate with the organization’s commitment of giving back to their community. ConServe employees are given the opportunity to participate in monthly charitable donations, benefitting a wide-range of recipients, in exchange for having the option of dressing down and wearing jeans to work for the entire month. The funds raised by the employees’ generosity are supplemented by the organization’s Matching Gift Program - symbolizing ConServe’s commitment to good corporate citizenship. This ongoing initiative is just one of the ways in which ConServe supports varied and diverse community agencies. To date the program has donated over $812,000 to local community organizations.
