Investment dealer Raymond James has raised more than $40K to support the activities of SCAW in recent years. Raymond James employees raised $10K this year from the sales of Holiday Cards drawn by children and friends of Raymond James Associates. What follows is from the company’s internal website.
The spirit of giving is alive at Raymond James. For the fourth consecutive year, our holiday card contest has raised more than $10,000 thanks to all the children and staff members around the firm who participated. The money raised from the contest will help support Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) - a charity that provides bedkits to children in need. Each bedkit includes a mat or mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket, mosquito net (if applicable), clothes, towel and school supplies. Since its founding in 1970, SCAW has provided more than 1.2 million bedkits for children in 33 countries.
