Unum presented a Paradise Cruise at Redwood

Unum Insurance Company volunteered on Friday, August 15 to create a Paradise Cruise for our children and clients with disabilities. They had the cruise event on our Walk & Roll path that is 1/4 of a mile around our building. I was so impressed with the creativity that Unum used in making the Paradise Cruise so informative and fun.

The Unum Group prepared a passport with fun facts from 4 different continents. They also let the children and clients touch plastic lizards from Australia and pan for gold in Alaska. Even I learned things about the world I live in from this volunteer driven event. I have attached a picture of the happy Unum crew from the cruise.

Ethicon Endo Surgery

Ethicon Endo Surgery gave school children at Woodlawn Elementary the tools they need to begin the year. This was the kick off Community Care Week project for the Operation Department. Thank you Ethicon for advancing the common good.

Groups Brighten Playgrounds

Last week Children, Inc. welcomed two groups volunteering for 's Community Care Week.

On Tuesday, Ethicon Endo-Surgery employees and board members spruced up the playground, or "outdoor classroom" at Montessori and Early Learning Academy in Covington. They spent the morning trimming trees to let more sunlight into the classrooms, refilling sandboxes with fresh sand and much more, making the area more inviting to children.


On Wednesday, employees from BASES spent the afternoon mulching, painting and sprucing the playground at Gardens at Greenup Child Development Center in Covington. After finishing, they spent a few minutes playing with the children who would enjoy the product of their volunteerism.

Thank you Ethicon Endo-Surgery and BASES! View pictures from their projects here.
