Tandus Employees Rally for Relay for Life®

The Tandus workforce from the Dalton-based campuses came together as a team to raise money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Whitfield County. Leading up to the May 3 event, employees participated in the campaign to raise money for the cause with efforts that ranged from selling donuts, auctioning gift baskets and purchasing raffle tickets for a variety of items from gift cards to an iPad. The team hosted a tent at the Relay for Life event at the Whitfield County Fairground where fundraising efforts continued through the night with hopes to reach the final goal of $35,000. Funds will be collected through August of this year and will add to the over $80,000 Tandus has raised for this campaign since 2010. Team members from Tandus also walked around the clock during the Relay for Life 12-hour event to honor and remember those who have fought the disease and support the American Cancer Society’s efforts. 

Tandus and Centiva Lend Helping Hands to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego

More than 200 employees from Tandus and Centiva joined forces recently to offer helping hands to assist three locations of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego (BGCGSD), including the Clairemont, National City and Ron Roberts Family branches. The Tandus and Centiva workforce of account executives, designers, manufacturing personnel and management were in San Diego for an annual conference that included an always much-anticipated day of community service.

Projects completed included assembling bicycles that were then donated to the BGCGSD, refreshing educational and recreation spaces, planting vegetable gardens and installing Tandus floorcovering.

“We always look forward to these types of community projects,” said Glen Hussmann, President of Tandus and Centiva. “It’s very gratifying to set aside a day to make a difference for these deserving local organizations and to hear that they are so appreciative and excited about our efforts.”

“Our site supervisors are still raving about the event and how much it has raised the appearance and functionality of their respective club buildings,” said Brandon Horrocks, VP Operations for BGCGSD. “The kids are thrilled with the positive changes as well and are excited to use the new spaces and gardens your team provided for them.”
