Shaw Mechanical nixes annual party to focus on corporate giving

ORLANDO, FL, Nov. 11, 2008 — Times what they are, Shaw Mechanical Services LLC has decided to forego its annual giving and thanks party for clients and staff this year to renew its sponsorship of the Destiny Foundation of Central Florida.

For 2009, Shaw Mechanical has committed to continue its three-point corporate giving program announced at last year’s bash that included a monetary donation, 80-hours of employee paid-volunteer-time and in-kind maintenance service for the Foundation’s 72-tons of HVAC equipment.

In 2008, Shaw Mechanical presented Destiny Foundation with a check for $5,000, provided $7,000 in servicing the Foundation’s 72-tons of HVAC equipment, and paid staff to volunteer at the Foundation’s warehouse and grocery store located on Michigan Avenue near downtown Orlando, Fla.

“During an economic downturn of this magnitude, it is much more important that we renew our support to the Destiny Foundation to help those in our own community that need assistance,” said Shaw Mechanical Services’ President, David L. Shaw. (middle right photo)
