(PHILADELPHIA | December 14, 2021 07:30 AM Eastern Standard Time) NEST, the leading national integrated facilities management company, announced that more than 15 charities and counting will benefit from over $100,000 in cash donations in 2021. Organized by NEST’s philanthropic division NEST Nurtures, the recipients were selected by NEST’s retail partners to support nonprofits making an impact in local communities and through nationwide programs.
Beneficiaries of the initiative include The Little Bit Foundation (selected by Build-A-Bear Workshop), Toys for Tots (selected by Five Below), St. Jude (selected by Hot Topic), and American Cancer Society (selected by Sleep Number).
“Through NEST Nurtures, we want to make a lasting impact that goes beyond just the donation,” said Rob Almond, CEO of NEST. “Philanthropy has been part of our mission at NEST for 27 years. I’m proud that we’ve been able to support and network with even more charities through this program.”
On Tuesday, Dec. 21, NEST Nurtures will host a networking event with representatives from each of the nonprofit recipients. The keynote speaker for the evening will be former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Ron Jaworski, who co-founded his own 501(c)(3) Jaws Youth Playbook. NEST Nurtures included Jaworski’s nonprofit as one of the donation recipients in 2021, and NEST employees assembled bikes at Jaworski’s annual bike drive this month.
