Over the years, competitive S-One canstruction builds included printers, Wrigley Field, a Thanksgiving Day parade, and even working replicas of video games, skee ball and board games. Last year the theme was movies, and the “Wizard of Oz” and “Toy Story” canstructions generated nearly 2,200 pounds of food — for the first time, the 1 ton mark had been reached.

Let’s Take a Trip

This year, S-One’s global offices created an “Around the World” experience for All Faiths. Starting on the fifth floor of S-One’s corporate offices on Main Street, the “journey” starts over the Skyway Bridge, complete with a toll booth, cargo ship and a shark in the water. The trip continues through our stairwell, which represents the airport, along with a board of arrivals and departures.

Next, you see the S-One Barcelona team in their airplane seats aboard “S-One Airlines.” Finally, the trip ends in London where visitors rendezvous with the Meghan and Harry and the Queen at Big Ben and Tower Bridge.

When the trip was over, Art Lambert presented the team from All Faiths a check for $1,000 and more than 1.26 tons of food had been collected.

“Your gift of $1,000 along with 2,522 pounds of food will be used to provide fresh produce, meats and groceries to children, families and seniors in our community who, without your help, might otherwise go hungry,” wrote Denise Cotler, Chief Development officer at All Faiths Food Bank. “Thanks to individuals like you, in 2017, we served 66,000 people 8.5 million meals.”

SARASOTA, FL. — With its employee-led “Culture Club,” S-One Holdings Corporation, headquartered in Sarasota, Fla., finds many ways to engage with the surrounding community throughout the year. Over the past few months, S-One team members worked with Manasota Operation Troop Support and Mothers Helping Mothers to provide much-needed supplies in hopes of making a difference for those in need.

In coordination with MOTS, two of our team members, Mariah Groome and Rachel Tate, collected funds and organized a donation campaign to gather boxes of supplies to send to U.S. Military Troops. All of the care packages were delivered to Troops that are from or have a tie to Florida’s Sarasota and Manatee counties.

On July 12, several S-One teammates gathered to fill 31 packages that contained various snacks and goodies including Power Bars, beef jerky, canned fruit, cross-word puzzles, toothbrushes, razors and socks. The team assembling the care packages wrote personal notes on the items or the boxes themselves for the Troops to enjoy.

In August, S-One partnered with the Sarasota Healthcare Foundation for Mothers Helping Mothers to collect school supplies for the upcoming school year. Mothers Helping Mothers is a not-for-profit organization located in Sarasota, with a mission to provide clothing and household items for families in need.

The organization also offers emotional support in addition to referrals to other agencies and community resources for the families. In one year, they aid over 6,500 needy families with a total of 9,500 children.

For this drive, S-One donated backpacks, school supplies and gift cards.

In the article, Lambert talks about S-One’s community engagement and desire to give back. “I love this community,” he says. “It’s been good to us. Having the team resource to give back is a way for me to personally give back.”

The article features S-One’s contributions to the Sarasota YMCA, Keep Sarasota Beautiful, All Faith’s Food Bank and the annual Rock for a Cause event, which S-One produces each year to support local music education programs.

Check out the entire article below:

S-One has spearheaded Rock for a Cause for the past two years, celebrating the community and its local musicians. In year one, rockers Seven Years Past took the title and donated funds to Riverview High School. Last year, 15-year-old sensation Paige Merriman won the title, with donations going to Lakewood Ranch High School and the Del Couch Music Education Foundation, where she is mentored by Del, has recorded a CD and performed with the Foundation’s other talented musicians, such as 2014 American Idol contestant Sam Woolf, and iTunes chart-topping singer-songwriter Matt Walden. Each year, the winning schools also received additional grant money from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.

“Being a part of the Del Couch Music Education Foundation and having the honor of winning such a respectable title has really put things into perspective for me,” Paige says. “Rock for a Cause showed me that I am, in fact, capable of much more than I thought. I can’t thank everyone enough who’s supported me and continues to do so.”

During the Foundation’s annual fundraiser, Heart of the Song, on March 19, 2016, S-One announced the new partnership. Funds raised through the 2016 Rock for a Cause event will be allocated to sending Foundation students to the Berklee College of Music Summer Internship program. The Heart of the Song featured performances by Sam Woolf, Matt Walden, Paige Merriman and One Night Rodeo.

“I’m excited to partner with a great community leader like S-One,” says Del Couch, founder of the Del Couch Music Education Foundation. “For these kids, spending a summer at Berklee’s program gives them exposure to the best music instructors at the leading music university in the world.”

Stay tuned to Rock for a Cause’s web page and Facebook page for updates on sponsorship opportunities, band submissions and event details.

“Our No. 1 goal with Rock for a Cause is to give back to the community in a fun and meaningful way, specifically ensuring that kids have access to music and arts programs – and Del’s Foundation is a great avenue to do just that,” says S-One’s Shauna Malgieri, head of the Rock for a Cause Executive Committee. “This event captures S-One’s family spirit while bringing together local musicians with some good, old-fashioned competition. We’re definitely ready to rock this year! Are you?”
