Employees at Andis’ Sturtevant, Wisconsin headquarters raised funds for the United Way of Racine County this year, topping last year’s donations by 24 percent. The Andis team hosted events that included raffles, silent auctions, bake sales and a chili cook-off to reach and exceed their goal.
To “top off” the fund-raising projects, Andis President Matthew K. Andis and several other employees received Mohawks from company artist and educator Ivan Zoot.
The creative efforts were comprised of 13 fund-raisers, including the purchase of Andis gear and decorated piggy banks that collected coins to vote for everyone’s favorite haircut from Zoot.
“Our employees prove again and again how committed we all are to this community and to people in need” said Andis. Visit andis.com.
