Company/Group Name & Industry
AT&T P50F
How did you first hear about FloCrit, and what made you interested in volunteering?
We first heard about FloCrit in 2017, when Professional 50 Forward (P50F) began as an Employee Resource Group (ERG) in the Denver Metro area for AT&T. We took over the role that DIRECTV formerly supported back in 2013. We wanted to continue to be engaged when we saw that teen mothers and their children needed support. We are strong believers that when children are shown how strong they can be with additional encouragement and guidance, they can achieve anything they set out to do. A crucial piece of that puzzle is the fact that multiple generations attend FloCrit, and we fit into it.
How long have you been volunteering with FloCrit?
We have been partnering with FloCrit since 2013. We continue to provide support as we can, and we are determined to keep that bond for many years to come.
With which activities/events have you helped at FloCrit?
We have been engaged in many of the activities and events that support FloCrit. Most recently, we have helped with the following events. In 2019, we helped with backpacks for the girls, Earth Day/Field Day, shopping in Baby Bucks, Appreciation Day, FloCrit and P50F Partner Together (craft day), and the school supply drive.
In April 2020, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were looking forward to volunteering at the Pathways to Empowerment fundraising event and helping with prom set up.
