DAVEY SPONSORS OHIO 5K RACES
Davey Tree ran its way around a couple Northeast Ohio
5K races to support the local community. With a sponsorship
and local office presence in the Race for Wellness 5K,
Davey was a force to be reckoned with. Frank Monteleone,
regional business development manager; Vito Monteleone,
branch manager for Cleveland West CLS; and Steve Hovan,
landscape crew leader for Cleveland West CLS, staffed a
booth with giveaways and information for attendees. All
proceeds from the event benefited the Lorain Free Clinic.
Davey also sponsored the Lakeview Cemetery Foundation's
6th Annual Race Through History in Cleveland. The event
included a wellness fair, 5K race, 1-mile walk and a
fall themed, kid-friendly relay race for individuals or teams.
In addition to the corporate sponsorship, Davey was
represented in the race by five employees.
