More than a Slogan

Schneider Downs’ mission statement reads “Working together every day to make our firm, clients and communities better.” We at Schneider Downs believe that this motto is much more than just a string of words. In addition to the stellar services our firm provides to our clients, our colleagues are involved in various activities and events to make an important contribution to our world.

These include external events such as participating in:

• The Race to Anyplace (benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society)
• JDRF Gala (Finding a cure for diabetes)
• United Way Free Tax Preparation (for low-income citizens)
• Lending Hearts Gala (support for young adults/children with cancer)
• JA Bowl-a-thon (benefits Junior Achievement)
• Red Door Project (support of local homeless shelter)
• Pelotonia (benefits James Cancer Hospital)
• Rebuilding Together Pittsburgh (support for home repairs for low-income citizens)
• Treasures for Children (Salvation Army Christmas gift drive)
• Real Men Wear Pink (benefits American Cancer Society)
• Polar Bear Plunge (benefits Special Olympics)

Internal activities at Schneider Downs this past year included:

• Creation of sleeping mats for the homeless (utilizing plastic bag “plarn”)
• Dodgeball tournament (to benefit United Way)
• Countless fundraiser 50 / 50 raffles and Happy Hours for a variety of causes
• Packing and delivering lunches for a nearby homeless shelter

In fact, our employees have made contributions of time/talent/treasure in more than 20 Schneider Downs approved events during the previous year. These are in addition to the personal contributions our employees make outside of work – to their places of worship, community and school sports, alma maters and boards on which they serve.

Here at Schneider Downs, we believe in our communities and know that our efforts can bring about a positive influence. So, it is indeed more than a slogan – it’s part of who we are!
