City of Orange Public Library Foundation |
Many people in our community know Shannon and Frank Tucker. They're supporters of several organizations that serve at-risk children, they're members of Holy Family Cathedral, they're active in Old Towne Orange preservation … and they love Orange Public Library! Each time the Orange Public Library Foundation holds a fundraiser, Shannon jumps in to help with event planning. She gathers raffle prizes, solicits donors, prepares gift baskets, and uses her creative skills in various other ways too. Frank helps with set-up. Together they make a dynamic team. At the Orange Public Library Foundation's 2010 Library Legacy Gala, the Tuckers took their support to a whole new level: They became Gold Sponsors, with the help of Frank's employer, YUM! Brands (the parent company of Taco Bell and several other restaurant chains). The YUM! Brands Foundation - like many corporations -- provides funds to match its employees' gifts to non-profit organizations like our Library Foundation. Frank and Shannon's $2,000 contribution was matched, dollar for dollar, by the YUM! Brands Foundation - resulting in double the donation for the Library Foundation to give for new children's and teens' library books and programs. Our heartfelt thanks go to the Tuckers for their ongoing support - and to YUM! Brands Foundation for how it gives back to communities like ours around the nation! Does your employer provide matching grant funds for the non-profit groups that its employees support? Please ask, and give generously to support the Orange Public Library Foundation! |
