Four Mangos Honored with TechCitizenship Award for Philanthropic Efforts Second Year in a Row

Cambridge, MA (PRWEB) December 18, 2007 -- Four Mangos, a Cambridge based integrated marketing and technology firm, for the second year has been named one of Mass High Tech's 2007 TechCitizens. The TechCitizenship Awards are presented annually to the region's top technology companies that have demonstrated a commitment to giving back to the community. Four Mangos was recognized for the more than $125,000 donated in cash and products, and more than 1,000 volunteer hours to community organizations during 2006.

The Techcitizenship Awards are sponsored annually by Mass High Tech, the journal of New England technology, to recognize technology companies who use a portion of their corporate resources to reinvest in the community. As part of the awards breakfast, Four Mangos' CEO and President, Neil Fennessey, participated in a panel discussion with representatives from Comcast, CityYear and Longwood Symphony Orchestra.

More than 8,000 people attended the "Harry Potter" themed evening of classical music where children were encouraged to come as their favorite wizard for a chance to join the symphony on stage.

All My Sons Seattle Moving & Storage Lends a Helping Hand

Kirkland, WA (PRWEB) December 18, 2007 -- All My Sons Moving and Storage (AMS) is a service company, but it is the individual attention and care given to each customer by every employee that sets this service company apart. Highly trained movers are genuinely thoughtful of every customer, and concerned about the possessions entrusted to him. The history of the family-owned company's compassion, which dates back four generations, is evidenced by the sense of personal pride exhibited by every employee.

So it is no surprise that, when asked to help a family from within its own community, All My Sons, a Seattle moving company rose to the occasion. The ABC program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition selected a remarkable, Seattle area family that found themselves in despair when faced with losing their home, along with its only source of income. Connie Chapin is a single mother of three who uses the family's swimming pool to produce income, calling her business "Angelfish." An avid swimmer, Ms. Chapin teaches swimming and life-saving lessons to children, some with disabilities. She has taught more than two hundred children to swim at "Angelfish."

Just as Angelfish Swimming's numbers began to grow, Ms. Chapin received excruciating news. Her home was found to be in violation of many building codes. Although neighbors volunteered to work with her to make the necessary repairs, Ms. Chapin wasn't able to handle all of them, and faced losing her home and her business.

In concert with All My Son's intense, compassionate community values, the owner of AMS' Seattle branch, Kermit Escribano, also has a strong service background. Mr. Escribano served in the U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division at Ft. Bragg for almost seven years, and spent several years working as a police officer and as a detective in the

Miami area. It's with the compassion and selfless generosity to perform those roles that Mr. Escribano answered the call that came from Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

All My Sons Seattle agreed to partner with Extreme Makeover. Although AMS was asked for minimal support, after surveying the home, the Seattle movers voluntarily contributed more in a heartbeat. AMS utilized two trucks and four movers to make the move to their storage facility. Even All My Sons office staff voluntarily went to the house to pitch in on packing, supervised by trained packers, right along with hundreds of neighborhood and community volunteers who helped with demolition and construction.

While the Chapin family enjoyed a complimentary vacation, courtesy of http://www.greenextremehomemakeover.com/partners.html [Extreme Makeover__title__ Extreme Makeover movers, at the Disney Vacation Club in Vero Beach, Florida, All My Sons provided professional packing services to pack everything in the house, from appliances to breakables, providing all packing materials. AMS also provided complimentary warehouse handling into storage, sixty days of free storage, and free warehouse handling out of storage, including two deliveries out of storage in Kent, Washington. All of the services, including moving, handling and storage of 21,000 pounds of goods, were valued at $13,000 and were donated by All My Sons.

All My Sons still continues to store half of the family's belongings, which AMS will deliver with no charge to the family when it is ready.
"I'm just glad we were asked for help," comments Kermit Escribano, AMS Seattle owner. "It's nice when you have access to exactly what someone needs to improve their quality of life. I think the work Home Makeover performs is outstanding, and I'm thrilled that All My Sons was able to help this deserving family. All My Sons is a company with a big heart, and we're happy to serve our neighbors and communities."
The scheduled air date for this episode was Sunday, December 16 on ABC.

All My Sons Moving & Storage has been a family-owned and operated moving and storage business, for four generations. The company, whose corporate headquarters is located in the Farmers Branch area of Dallas, Texas, has branch offices in 35 cities across the country. All My Sons specializes in local and long-distance moves, office moves, corporate relocations and residential moves.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, which has won back-to-back Emmy Awards as Best Reality Program (non-competitive), is entering its 5th season on ABC. The program is produced by Endemol USA, a division of Endemol Holding. Denise Cramsey is the executive producer, and David Goldberg is the president of Endemol USA.
