Savannah River Nuclear Solutions recently presented Children’s Place Inc., with a $32,794 donation, which was achieved by SRNS employees during the annual Celebrity Waiter event on May 15.
“The commitment of SRNS to support the community speaks volumes,” said Peggy Ford, Director of Children’s Place, Inc. “Children’s Place appreciates the generous support of SRNS employees, and
these much-needed funds will go towards occupational, speech, physical and mental health therapy,
three meals a day, and bus transportation for the 120 Aiken County children we serve annually.”
SRNS “celebrities” served over 200 employees and guests at Celebrity Waiter Night, which included
a dinner, silent auction and live auction. The event raised a record $32,794 for Children’s Place
Inc., a United Way of Aiken County agency that provides therapeutic intervention, bus transportation and therapeutic childcare for over 120 children in need as well as support groups and parenting classes to caregivers.
“Every year, I’m amazed at the generosity of our employees,” said Glenn Morgan, SRNS Vice President of Nuclear Materials Operations and Children’s Place board member. “This fun night with friends and co-workers gives us the opportunity to raise much-needed funds for Children’s Place, which allows them to further their mission of ‘High Risk to High Hope’ for the lives of Aiken County kids. I appreciate all the volunteers who worked hard to make this event possible.”
