Employees at Top 40 distributor Proforma’s (asi/300094) Worldwide Support Center have banded together to bring the holiday spirit to life by supporting charitable outreach local to their Cleveland community.

Proforma Vice President of Credit Risk Management Angela Jolliffe, Chief Financial Officer Rick Hileman, and President Doug Kordel bring in presents for the Adopt-a-Family fundraiser.

One initiative centered on donations of items like hairbrushes, shampoo, toothbrushes and other necessities. Employees packed the essentials into purses and donated them to Laura’s Home Women’s Crisis Center and WomenSafe, which help women and children transitioning from abusive relationships. Another outreach effort involved purchasing gifts for a family of five in need; employees also raised $250 to buy a gift card for the family as part of an “Adopt-a-Family” fundraiser. Additionally, employees have been donating nonperishable goods to benefit the South Hill Lend-a-Hand food drive.

“It’s so wonderful to see the amount of donations from our employees for these three fundraisers. Thank you to everyone who donated this holiday season,” said Kathy Mayo, Proforma’s director of human resources.

With reported 2018 North American promotional product revenue of $378.8 million, Proforma ranks as the sixth-largest distributor in the promo industry.
