Sundance Vacations Make a Difference Day Results
Sundance Vacations successfully raised $2830 for Habitat for Humanity during our participation in Make a Difference Day. Several Sundance Vacations’ employee volunteered to build a home in downtown Wilkes Barre. In addition to the volunteers who dug ditches and carried construction debris, many employees made a difference by selling tickets for $5 to win an excess inventory vacation.
The funds raised in each office will be sent directly to the Habitat for Humanity that is local to that area. The winner of the excess inventory week was Leona Dworchaek from the Shamokin area. The employee who sold the most tickets was Pam Fantaskey. Pam also won an excess inventory vacation for raising the most funds.
We also want to express our gratitude to the entire staff who helped make this charity event a big success. We will enroll our “event” in the Make a Difference contest. If our charity event is chosen as the winner, we will get $10,000 from Newman’s Own Salad Dressing to donate to Habitat for Humanity.
We will participate in the Make a Difference Day again next year. We will be looking for bigger volunteer opportunities for next year. Send in your ideas.
I wish I could have participated in helping out, but i was away on vacation. I would like to mention that prior to my vacation, I did raise $1200 for the Muscular Distrophy Association (MDA). I think it is is fantastic that Sundance employees are able to help make a differnce in our community. Great job for all of you who particapted in Make a Difference Day!!
I was fortunate enough to have been able to assist and volunteer in the Habitat for Humanity project that is taking place in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I found that it was a very rewarding experience. It is very humbling to be healthy and wealthy enough to help someone else. I realized that day, just how much I take for granted. I may not have much, but there are people that don’t have their health, homes, and families. I want to once again thank Sundance Vacations for such a wonderful opportunity. I hope that our help and donations are a big help for the less fortunate in our area and all around the world. Great job making a difference!!!!!
Habitat for Humanity is a wonderful organization that helps folks get into their own homes with dignity. I encourage and support thios wonderful organization and encourage all for ongoing support. Nice job folks!!
I wish I could have donated more. I think Habitiat for Humanity is a great program. This has made me research into it more and I found out they have things for younger kids to get involved in. My neices would love to help out in any way they can so I now have them begging to be involved. My one neice just recently emptied her bank acct to donate to a charity. I can’t wait to see what they can do.
I think it is so amazing that Sundance Vacations cares about the community as much as it does. I am very lucky to be able to work in a company that does so much for the community. I am absolutely looking forward to next year’s endeavor for make a difference day. We should strive to make a difference everyday! Imagine how the world would be if everyone adopted that attitude.
Great job to all the participants and congratulations Pam!!!
I am proud to be a part of a company so involved in community service, events, and charity.
Another great example of how Sundance makes a differece in peoples lives!! I’m proud to work for an organization that infuses “caring” into it’s corporate culture.
