On Labor Day weekend, many of you may have seen a portion of the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) telethon. Those watching in the Quad City area may have noticed a representative from Per Mar Security Services. Tim Smith, Director of Customer Care and Purchasing at Per Mar Centre, was asked to participate in the annual telethon. Tim was involved in the Muscular Dystrophy Associations’ Executive Lock Up program in August. Tim was “arrested,” by the MDA and raised donations for the MDA to “bail” him out. Tim raised $2460 in bail money, the highest amount by any individual involved in the 2009 Quad City Executive Lock Up. Tim was invited to appear on the telethon to present the check for his donation to the association.
Per Mar Centre employees have been involved in providing support to other charitable causes this summer. Funds collected for monthly Jeans Days have been provided to Kids Against Hunger, Race for the Cure, and Living Lands and Waters. Additionally, employees collected items for care packages to be sent to local military troops deployed in Iraq.
