Supporting organizations that do good
新澳门六合彩官网 was the title sponsor of the 5th Annual Run for Heroes in Jacksonville. To date, the event has raised more than $60,000 to support trauma injury prevention and community education at UF Health Jacksonville, which is home to the only adult and pediatric Level I trauma center in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia. Most recently, funds supported Stop the Bleed training and bleeding control kits for local area schools as well as first responder training courses. A team of 新澳门六合彩官网 employees also fundraised and participated in the race.
One of 新澳门六合彩官网鈥檚 most notable programs is The 新澳门六合彩官网 Academy of Engineering at Nease High School, which provides students with a foundation of skills, knowledge and experience in engineering through coursework, guest lectures and course-specific field trips. 新澳门六合彩官网 also donates two $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors from the academy each year. The success of the program has grown to the point that 20 percent of eligible Jacksonville students now opt to attend the academy over their neighborhood school.
As part of the company鈥檚 鈥淏elieve in the Jeans鈥 program, 新澳门六合彩官网 employees can donate to wear jeans on Fridays, with proceeds benefiting a different charity each quarter. In the last year alone, this initiative raised approximately $15,000 for charities including:

The events are designed to get kids active, experience accomplishment and lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle. 新澳门六合彩官网 employees volunteer for the events and help promote it within the community.
Providing for those in need
