This past fall I was put on the United Way Board of Directors. I will serve a 3 year term. I am really enjoying being on the board and I have met some really cool people from the community that are also on the board. Intrepid contributes quite a bit of money to the United Way foundation. In October Intrepid ran a campaign to raise money for United Way for the employees to donate. Intrepid did a 100% company match! We ended up raising a little over $89,000 from our company alone for the local United Way.

That is crazy huh. On top of the campaign that Intrepid did, we are currently working on a project for the Battered Family Shelter. In a few weeks we are going to be building a 30x40 storage shed for donations to be stored as well as a huge playground at the site. It is really awesome to see these kinds of acts being done. Carlsbad has a lot of charitable committees and foundations for people to volunteer at. But along with that, there are a lot of people that need that little help from the community.I will post pictures of the completed project in March!
