The community-focused social mission of The Redwoods Group is an essential part of our company culture. We are very involved with many of our customers’ efforts: whether supporting YMCAs in their capital campaigns, volunteering our time to paint a gym, or supporting the National Dental Association with its various initiatives such as recruiting dentists to volunteer their time working in impoverished areas where dental care is sorely needed.

We are also involved with organizations whose causes have become an important part of our employees’ lives: The United Way, St. Baldrick’s Foundation, and Camp Kesem are just a few. Read on to learn more about these wonderful organizations.

St. Baldrick’s Foundation

The Redwoods’ Connection
Since its inception, The Redwoods Group has supported St. Baldrick’s efforts to fund childhood cancer research. As part of our efforts to fight the devastating effects of childhood cancer, The Redwoods Group sponsors local fundraising events each year in the North Carolina Triangle Area. Over the past two years The Redwoods Group has formed a team of employees, their children, and friends to go bald for this wonderful cause.

Our mission at The Redwoods Group is to serve others by protecting and improving the quality of life in the communities in which we serve. Thank you to those of you who support this important endeavor to find a cure for childhood cancer.

The United Way

The Redwoods’ Connection
The Redwoods Group has supported the efforts of the United Way for years. The United Way is an important contributor to many social service agencies in each of our “home” communities… here in the NC “Triangle”, over 200 programs at 84 United Way-supported agencies help about 300,000 people each year.

The Redwoods Group has just completed our 2006 United Way pledge campaign and will be giving over $45,000 through employee donations and company matching. For more information on how you can get involved with your local United Way, Please visit their website at www.unitedwaytriangle.org.

Camp Kesem

The Redwoods' Connection
The Redwoods Group provides support to Camp Kesem through financial contributions and donated office space, equipment, and supplies to help in the development process.

Camp Kesem was founded in 2001 by three Duke University students hoping to provide a special opportunity to the children of those with cancer. Since that time, the camp has been organized, directed, and staffed by a wonderful, caring group of student volunteers. Camp Kesem holds a special place in our hearts since one of our employees is a cofounder of this important organization.

Habitat for Humanity

The Redwoods’ Connection
Redwoods’ held their 1st annual company-wide service event in 2005 with Habitat for Humanity chapters across the country. Our employees have adopted this non-profit organization and look forward to serving Habitat in their communities each year.

For over 30 years, Habitat for Humanity International has built and rehabilitated more than 200,000 houses for underserved families and communities worldwide. Volunteers from churches, companies, and community groups join together in building/remodeling low-income housing for thousands of families. They have become a world leader in addressing the issues of poverty housing. If you are interested in learning more about Habitat, please visit their website at www.habitat.org.

Nickelby Project

The Redwoods’ Connection
The Redwoods Group was introduced to this wonderful young man, Nicholas Marriam, who does amazing work for terminally ill children. We “adopted” him immediately and helped him establish his 501(c)3 status in 2006. Our technical team also developed an official website for the Nickelby Project to help the organization get their message out accomplish and their goals.

Interact

The Redwoods’ Connection
One of our first experiences with Interact was during our United Way Campaign in the fall of 2006. Since then, our relationship with them has grown and we now look at them as a partner in the fight against domestic violence and child abuse. We are supporting their 2007 capital campaign through paying for a volunteer coordinator to carry out their continuous efforts.
