While you are in the voting mood, check out The Center for Corporate Citizenship’s 2014 Film Festival website. Many amazing videos have been entered to demonstrate how companies use a video as a communication tool to share their stories of corporate philanthropy. Be sure to check out McGladrey’s Hurricane Sandy video and cast your vote for the most compelling video! McGladrey’s video represents the importance of stewardship. All around the country, McGladrey employees pulled together to help out their fellow colleagues and others in the Northeast who were affected by Hurricane Sandy.

And speaking of supporting the community, McGladrey expands its philanthropic efforts each year through its title sponsorship of The McGladrey Classic. During the 2013 tournament, McGladrey upped the ante a bit by encouraging employees and clients to support the tournament’s Birdies Fore Love program. The results are in, and we now know that the 2013 McGladrey Classic raised more than $850,000 for local and national charitable organizations! ($430,000 of that was raised by McGladrey employees and clients through Birdies Fore Love.) This brings the total raised through The McGladrey Classic to more than $1.8 million since the tournament’s inception in 2010. It is an honor and a privilege for McGladrey to be associated with such an initiative.
