ATLANTA, March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Birch
Communications, Inc., ("Birch") a leading provider of
communications, network and cloud services to small, mid-sized,
enterprise and wholesale businesses nationwide, announced today its
lead sponsorship of the 2015 Cherry Blossom Road Race that was held
on Saturday, March 28, 2015 in
Macon, Ga.
Each March, Macon, Ga. becomes
a pink, cotton-spun paradise as over 300,000 Yoshino cherry trees
bloom in all their glory. For 10 days, festival-lovers are
treated to one of the most extravagant displays of springtime color
in the nation.
This is the company's tenth consecutive year sponsoring some
part of the world-renowned Cherry Blossom Festival and it is the
third consecutive year that Birch has been the lead sponsor of the
road race with proceeds benefiting developmentally disabled adults
who are served by Wesley Glen Ministries.
"We are honored to sponsor an event that supports our community
and promotes positive public awareness of the challenges faced by
developmentally disabled individuals," said Vincent M. Oddo, President and CEO of Birch.
"Birch continues to grow its staff in the Macon, Ga. area, our original hometown, and we
are always looking for ways to serve our community in a positive
manner. We are thankful for the opportunity to partner with
Wesley Glen Ministries through a collective mission to
serve."
The popular 13th annual road race event features a 1
mile fun run, 5K or 10K road race, as well as a kid's
carnival. This year over 35 Birch employees took part in the
road race which had a record overall turnout.
"I'm excited to be involved in such a fun local event that helps
to enrich the lives of developmentally disabled individuals," said
Bill Pilcher National Sales Manager at Birch. "I have
personally attended the Cherry Blossom Festival for over thirty
years and it remains as one of the key events that enhance the
quality of life, community fellowship, and civic pride of all
Macon and Middle Georgia residents
through the encouragement, development, and coordination of
selected recreational, cultural, and social activities."
