Cash 1 Gives Back to the Arizona Community During the Holidays

Jan. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Phoenix AZ – January 8, 2012 – This holiday season was a very giving one for the employees at Cash 1. Cash 1 provided a helping hand to Children First Academy Phoenix formerly known as Thomas J Pappas during the holiday season.  Children First Academy Phoenix is an open-enrollment, nonprofit, K-8th grade public charter school, which offers quality education to 325 at-risk, homeless, or low-income children.
During the months of November and December 2011, Cash 1 employees donated over 127 hours of service.   Cash 1 employees acted as teacher’s aides and playground assistants, in addition to helping out with donations.  Performing clean up around the school campus and helping out with Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday events were also part of the volunteer effort.  In addition, Cash 1 sponsored a food and clothing drive which resulted in 100 lbs of donations from generous Cash 1 customers. The charitable contributions culminated in a surprise donation of two brand new laptops for Children First Academy of Phoenix. The students lit up with excitement when seeing their Christmas gifts for the campus!  It was a much needed and greatly appreciated gift to the school and students.  Chad Miraglia, President of Cash 1 said, “I can’t think of a better cause than education and a better time than during the holiday season to give back to the community. Children First Academy gives and gives all year,  and we are just grateful to have the opportunity to assist them, especially during this difficult economy. I’m very proud of our employees and their dedication to the community.”
