The Joico/ISO/Zotos manufacturing team in Geneva, NY keeps busy producing hair care products using eco-conscious methods, including developing a wind turbine program to power the entire plant and increasing bottle molding to 70% PCR and 30% bio-resin material. But they’re never too busy to lend a helping hand.
That’s why they recently received double honors—as the largest corporate sponsor of the March of Dimes in the New York State Finger Lakes/Genessee Valley community and for adopting more than 100 families and raising $2,000 for the Salvation Army.
To support the March of Dimes, the Zotos/Joico/ISO team participated in a recent March for Babies benefit, and raised more than $17,000.Those efforts, along with ongoing fundraising activities like bake sales, raffles, children’s carnivals, etc., made them the number one team in the event.The distinction earned them a display in Time Square in New York as Volunteer Organization of the year.
“We would like to recognize our employees for their efforts and generosity towards the achievement of this goal in such a difficult economic climate,” says Anthony Perdigao, vice president of plant operations.”The mission of the March of Dimes-- funding research to find the answers to premature birth and providing comfort and information to families who are affected—is important to us here at Zotos.”
Perdigao also recently accepted an award plaque on behalf of his team at a Salvation Army luncheon, for providing Christmas gifts to more than 100 families and raising money throughout the year.
“The Salvation Army Adopt-A-Family program matches impoverished families with sponsors to provide for their needs at Christmas,” comments Perdigao.“We were thrilled that we could brighten the holidays for so many families through this worthwhile organization.”
