Matching Gift Presented to OGT Phoenix
On Friday, Sept 20th, OGT Phoenix Branch was blessed to receive a check for $10,000 from Pro-Lift Rigging! Paul Richardson, our assistant manager, works for the company and they believe in giving back the community. This is the first time they have given this large amount to any organization. Besides the donation from Pro-Lift Rigging, OGT Phoenix also received a $500.00 check from the employees. The employees of Pro-Lift have a matching funds program, that the company allows them to designate for a specific organization and they chose to give to OGT Phoenix. It was an exciting moment and tears of joy were shed.
