Last week, Maitland Shared Services associates donated their time to make lunch for the families residing at a local Ronald McDonald House. Ronald McDonald House Charities provides a home away from home for families with children receiving treatment at hospitals or medical facilities. It was a great way to give back to the Central Florida Community. A very special thank you to those Maitland associates who helped with the shopping, food prep, cooking, set up and clean up. It's with the giving of your time that made Taco Thursday the highlight of another person's day! #soneparusacares #soneparcares

The Philadelphia office recently participated in the Healthy Heart 5K Run/Walk and Health Fair – benefiting the pharmacy students at Thomas Jefferson University. Despite being a Saturday in the summer, we were still able to pull off a decent turn-out. Great times and great weather! The Healthy Heart 5K and Health Fair supports the initiatives of the Pennsylvania Pharmacists Association and the American Pharmacists Association – Academy of Student Pharmacists chapters at Thomas Jefferson University. These organizations, run by dedicated student pharmacists, provide health screenings and education to community members on topics including heart health, diabetes, smoking cessation, nutrition and exercise, immunizations, and safe use of prescription and over-the-counter medications. Free health screenings and education were provided at the finish line! #soneparusacares

The Sonepar USA Charleston Office held the first official ping pong tournament to raise money for our Parkinson's Moving Day fundraiser. Between the competitive spirit, grand entrances and costumes, both the participants and audience had an exciting day for a great cause. Congrats to our champion, Grant Tucker, and runner-up Michael O’Loughlin! Moving Day is your chance to speak up about Parkinson’s disease and move others to take action. It is a movement for change - towards more awareness, more funding, and more understanding of a disease that affects so many of our family and friends.
