CHICAGO, IL (June 21,
2016) — Palatine, Ill.-based Proper Title, LLC, a full-service title insurance
agency, announced Kim O’Donnell,
senior commercial account executive, has been appointed to the Board of
Directors of the Chicago chapter of Random Acts of Flowers (RAF).
O’Donnell’s
appointment furthers Proper Title’s commitment to positively impacting the
Chicago area through charitable giving.
“Random Acts of Flowers
Chicago is a phenomenal organization that has deeply impacted the communities
in which Proper Title serves. I am excited to take an active role in continuing
its mission of delivering the beauty of flowers and moments of kindness and
compassion to people who need it most,” said O’Donnell.
“Random Acts of Flower’s commitment to
improving the daily lives of those in need is a perfect extension of Proper
Title’s mission to share our personal and professional success to benefit
others.”
RAF Chicago is a
non-profit organization that recycles and repurposes flowers, with 500
volunteers who create and deliver beautiful bouquets to 130 healthcare
facilities across Chicagoland, including hospitals, nursing homes, hospice and
rehab centers and veteran’s medical facilities.
Flowers are donated by grocery stores, floral
retail and wholesalers, weddings, funerals, galas and RAF’s national partner
FTD-Pro Flowers. Since its inception in 2015, RAF Chicago has delivered 35,000
bouquets and recycled 32,000 vases.
“We are so delighted to
welcome Kim to our board, as she brings impeccable leadership skills, community
relationships and a genuine passion for giving to others,” said Joanie Bayhack, executive director of
RAF Chicago. “Kim is a very engaging advocate for our rapidly growing
organization, and her energy and strategic perspective will be an invaluable
asset to our board.”
To enhance its culture of
compassion, Proper Title established its charitable arm, Proper Giving, in July
2015.

“When you consider Proper
Title has increased its transaction volume by 400 percent and revenues by 420
percent since its founding in 2013, our positive impact has grown
exponentially,” said O’Donnell. “And the more we grow both as a firm and
individually, the greater impact we can have through wonderful organizations
like Random Acts of Flowers.”
