Community Involvement
Our growth and progress is matched only by our commitment to serve the surrounding community. Moving Forward
- Giving Back. That is the motto here at eMASON.
We've shown this commitment through grassroots campaigns such as eMASON's Green Initiative where we have volunteered our time to clean up neighborhood beaches and help protect marine life.
In 2009, nearly 50 members of our extended family picked up 40+ bags of trash along Ben T. Davis Beach.
In 2010, we cleaned up the area around the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Clean-Up.
eMASON has also made charitable contributions to several organizations including the Susan G. Komen for the Cure® Foundation, American Cancer Society, the UPARC Foundation (dedicated to securing the financial future of the Upper Pinellas Association for Retarded Citizens by fostering community awareness and involvement), CASA - Community Action Stops Abuse (volunteers that watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children until they are placed in a safe, permanent home), BDF Homework's Foundation (partner of the Dallas-based law firm Barrett Daffin Frappier Turner & Engel, LLP, the network supports local and national charities by contributing funding, volunteer hours and directing activities that benefit the community), Hospice, and Harvesters - The Community Food Network (the purpose of Harvesters is to collect and distribute food, provide nutritional services, offer education programs to increase community awareness of hunger and generate solutions to end hunger).
