THE DAVEY BULLETIN

January/February 2020
Davey employees supported the H2O Foundation's third
annual Sporting Clay Fundraiser to help families in need.
H20 stands for "Have Heart, Have Hope = Opportunity,"
and the foundation works with local school counselors from
elementary and middle schools in Brunswick, Ohio, to
identify local families in need. H2O purchases gifts and
groceries for the families that are delivered on Christmas
Eve and helps families in a variety of other ways. Since H2O's
inception, it's touched the lives of over 250 local families.
"Davey has been a huge supporter," said Mark Svozil, vice
president and general manager, Commercial Landscape
Services (CLS), and H20 Foundation board member.
An employee tradition for more than 42 years, Davey's
annual summer golf outing has raised $50,000 for the
American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund over the past
three years.
This year's outing drew more than 130 employees, vendors
and family members to Boulder Creek Golf Course, just
north of Davey's corporate campus in Streetsboro, Ohio.
The winning foursome of this year's golf outing were:
Joseph Domer, manager, corporate purchasing; Derek
Huntsman, business analyst, fleet management; Phil
Render, business analyst, fleet management; and Mark
Svozil, vice president and general manager, Commercial
Landscape Services.

"Seeing all the Davey people in one place and all the
comradery and giving back to those in need is priceless."
Davey also donated a large spade tree to be raffled off and
later planted at the winner's home.
"The families that we get to bless are going through
challenges we may never know about. In the end, we are
the winners because we are helping change people's lives,"
Svozil said.

families at Christmas. You can donate at h2ofoundation.net.
