IT Solutions Announces Latest “Smiles for Success” Award; Donates $1,200 to Garfield Park Academy
IT Solutions,
a top-ranked Managed Service
Provider for which “giving back” is part of its corporate philosophy, today announced that Garfield
Park Academy will be the latest recipient of its Smiles for
Success award. The donation will be made to GPA’s “Go Play” Campaign and IT
Solutions will present the Academy with $1,200 that was raised through the campaign.
The community
service initiative, which began as a way for IT Solutions’ leadership to show
appreciation for the firm’s own success, is driven in a unique way — through
client input. Whenever an IT Solutions’ client fills out a satisfaction survey,
their effort generates a donation for one of IT Solutions’ non-profit partners.
To date, the $9,000 donated through Smiles for Success has benefited eight
different non-profit organizations.
“When we
founded IT Solutions, we were dedicated to delivering ‘outside the box’ of the
traditional IT Service Provider model, and that dedication continues to this
day,” said IT Solutions President Garrett Graney. “We believe wholeheartedly that
companies should be more than a profit machine. In that pursuit, we made a
lasting commitment to corporate giving. This donation holds special meaning for
the IT Solutions team because it represents a memorial tribute to a Garfield
Academy team member with whom IT Solutions staff worked for many years.”
So far, IT
Solutions has made donations to the following nonprofits: ALS Association of Greater
Philadelphia, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Foundation, Mattie N.
Dixon Community Cupboard, Meg McGoldrick Better Together Fund at Abington -
Jefferson Health Hospital, Partnership for Community Supports, Project HOME, The
Wardrobe Philadelphia and Veterans Multi-Service Center (VMC).
IT Solutions
has already announced that its next Smiles for Success recipient will be
The Arc of Chester County. The advocacy organization is a
leading provider of “lifetime services” for people with developmental and
intellectual disabilities and their families.
“Not only has
this initiative made a positive impact in the lives of many people, including a
considerable number of children, but it has also let us show our clients that
their choice of IT provider enables them to make a positive impact, as well,”
said Graney. “Our clients’ response when we tell them their business is making
a real difference in the world is always enthusiastic and heartfelt.”
