Acceleration Values Community Involvement

Community works

Acceleration Works through Team building and charity.  On April 24th Acceleration associates participated in a teambuilding activity by combining two of their passions:  friendly internal competition and benefitting the local community.  Associates prepared 5,000 bags for distribution on May 12 by local US Postal workers to Kansas City Metro area residents as part of the Harvester’s Food Bank, Help Stamp Out Hunger food drive.  Competitive teams earned prizes for the team that prepared the most bags for distribution.   http://www.helpstampouthunger.com



Acceleration Associates formed a team for The Trolley Run benefitting the Children’s Center for the Visually impaired on April 29.  Although it was a cold, rainy day, the Acceleration team pounded the course and kept warm to the finish line for the cause.

Charitable Giving on Fast Track at Acceleration Laboratory Services, Inc.

Acceleration Laboratory Services, Inc., is proud to have been recognized by the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation for our Community Committee and Corporate Social Responsibility Platform.

Charitable giving, says general manager Brent Taylor, is key to their corporate identity. “The company was founded in 2003 on the principles of the late Ewing Kauffman, esteemed entrepreneur and humanitarian.”

With those key missions in mind, Acceleration Laboratory Services employees are offered paid time off to attend to their charitable organizations as board and committee members as well as volunteers. 

The Community Committee has fun cooking up projects, like pumpkin carving, that benefit a charity. But they’re serious when it comes to giving their charitable dollars where they can make the biggest impact, says Gary Schmitt, director of Laboratory Services, who serves on the committee. They won’t support an organization that spends more than 20 percent on administration.

2011 already proves to be a very busy year with several activities already scheduled including Jazzoo!, Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, Forks & Corks, and many more in the works!
