Richards Helping the Community

It is important to us to give back to the community. During the holiday season as well as throughout the year Richards employees donate their time and money to various charities. Some Programs Richards takes part in are:

Tyler's Run Tyler's Run is a duathalon held in memory of Tyler Frey who died of SIDS. This event is very near and dear to our hearts, as we take great pride in sponsoring this yearly event. In addition to sponsoring the event, some of our employees volunteer their time while others participate in the duathalon. This event benefits the local SIDS Alliance.

United Way We have an annual voluntary commitment campaign to support the United Way. If an employee chooses to particpate they make a pledge that spans over the course of the year. Again, our employee's generosity is truly amazing. As an added bonus we put everyone's name in a hat and draw for a prize. We feel this further emplhasizes that the gift of giving keeps giving.

Juvenile Diabetes - Walk for the Cure Every Spring Richards employees have laced up their running shoes to participate in the "Walk for the Cure". It is a 5K walk to help raise money to support the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

Free Store Food and Clothing Drive Throughout the year Richards donates money, nonperishable foods, and clothing to our local Free Store. Our employees are so charitable and community minded that we do not have to ask them to give; they simply give what they can when they can. We make a really concentrated effort to increase our giving during the various holiday seasons. We know that a little generosity can go a very long way in helping those less fortunate.
