Blevins Receives Two Prestigious United Way Awards
The 2006 United Way Campaign Celebration Awards Luncheon was held on February 15, 2007, where Brad Blevins accepted the 2006 Community Impact Award. Blevins, Inc. was recognized for donating $22,500 to install and support twelve computers in six pre-school classrooms at McNeilly Center for Children in the East Nashville area.
The company also provided $15,000 to support the work of the Nashville Wealth Building Alliance, which funded a new, freestanding East Nashville VITA site. The site provided free tax filing services for low-income families to assist them in receiving the Earned Income Credit. Blevins Corporate and Nashville Branch employees supported this project by spending a day preparing the building, which housed the project.
The company also received the Circle of Honor Award, in recognition of companies that truly support the mission of United Way. In addition to our company and employee monetary participation, we use campaign best practices, and provide the United Way with volunteers to support community projects.
