National Leader of McGladrey’s Birdies Fore Love program

The McGladrey Classic was one of my very first and strong attractions to McGladrey as a company. Not only does the tournament provide a terrific platform for playing and watching a game I love, but it too promotes the values of philanthropy and giving back to your community. Therefore, I was ecstatic to be selected as this year’s Birdies Fore Love National Leader. I have the opportunity to combine values and interests I have and share with so many other McGladrey employees.
Birdies Fore Love is a program started by the Davis Love Foundation which McGladrey has come to support as a community as well. Each of our offices selects a charity in their local community which supports children in need and their families. They then have a good-spirited competition to see who can raise the most money in support of those charities. Last year, we had overwhelming success with the program and I think the whole community was blown away by our efforts. I was fortunate enough to work with one of the charities we supported, and I can say that they were truly grateful for our support.
It is extremely humbling and gratifying to see the community which you spend almost every day come together for such a worthy cause. I can’t say enough how proud I am of the McGladrey community, and can’t wait to see what we can accomplish this year. I hope that we can make a big splash like the “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge” has in the past few weeks.
