Over 200 employees from the finance team at Arrow Electronics'
(NYSE: ARW) Denver-area headquarters recently stepped away from
their desks and into the halls of College View Elementary School,
where they dedicated an entire day to making the school a more
vibrant and welcoming place for the nearly 500 students who will
return to its classrooms and playgrounds this fall.
College View Elementary School serves
kindergarten-through-fifth-grade students in the southwest region
of Denver, 92 percent of whom qualify for free and reduced lunches.
The Arrow day of service focused on improvements to the school that
would “excite and delight” returning students, as well as inspire
pride and creativity, including painting a new mural, renovating
the student lounge and landscaping the grounds.
In addition to the Arrow team's renovation and beautification
projects, Arrow is donating computers and other electronics to the
school, along with a matching grant from the Arrow Charitable
"Dollars for Doers" program.
"Arrow is a company full of people who are excited about the
future, and volunteer opportunities like this are a great way to
inspire that kind of excitement and imagination in the next
generation of engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs,” said Chris
Stansbury, senior vice president and chief financial officer at
Arrow. “It was also an excellent team-building experience that got
us all out of our normal work environment to collaborate and create
something together in an entirely different context.”
Arrow employees from around the world regularly work with local
nonprofits, extending the company’s collaborative and innovative
culture into the broader communities where they live and work.
