Fort Lauderdale, FL – September 15, 2009 – Transworld Business Brokers’ annual sales contest ends in a charitable push that raised over $60,000 and clocked 500 community service hours. Frank Feiler, VP of Transworld (www.tworld.com) remarked “ending the sales contest with a push for charitable giving was an easy decision as Transworld has stood for giving back to the community for years”.
Each participant in the contest was awarded points for charitable donations of time, services, or goods. The contest lasted 8 weeks and the charitable donation bonus points were a last week surprise. The participants responded and the list of charities that were supported was long and varied.
Joe Strickland’s work at Kairos Prison Ministry (www.kairosprisonministry.org) was awarded a special prize by CEO Andrew Cagnetta. Cagnetta stated “Joe lives his passion to help others through monetary donations and volunteering many hours to help reshape lives.” Joe remarked that he believes in “giving back as we are so fortunate in our lives. People make mistakes and I like to help those in need.”
