March/April 2017 | The Davey Bulletin 13 Davey recently supported the Hope Always Lives On (HALO) Foundation's annual Wings of Charity Gala to raise money and awareness for the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. In support of the HALO Foundation's mission, Davey donated 50 potted, white pine trees as gala centerpieces to honor the heroes of Flight 93. After the gala, held in September, the trees were planted in the recovering disaster area of Clendenin, West Virginia, to symbolize new growth and new beginning. The Flight 93 National Memorial's mission is to create a "living memorial," and these donated trees will become an extension of that living memorial to honor the 40 heroes of United Flight 93. SUPPORTING THE FLIGHT 93 MEMORIAL Davey recently sponsored Tree Pittsburgh's 10th Anniversary Celebration and Benefit Gala, appropriately called the Root Ball. The local Pittsburgh Residential/Com- mercial offices and Davey Resource Group have worked closely with Tree Pittsburgh for many years completing projects all around the city. Representatives from our corporate office, the local offices and DRG also attended the Root Ball to show Davey's support for the organization, whose mission is to protect and restore Pittsburgh's urban forest. "Attending the Root Ball and showing support from Davey, I think, was the most beneficial part of the program," said Todd Sherbondy, district manager of Davey's East Pittsburgh R/C office. Davey has supported the annual fundraiser since 2010. All proceeds from the gala go to Tree Pittsburgh's programs. The city has one of the highest canopy coverage percentages in the nation at 42 percent. CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF TREE PITTSBURGH Davey representatives from the corporate office, Davey Resource Group and the local Pittsburgh R/C offices gather for a photo at the Root Ball, Tree Pittsburgh's annual fundraiser. HALO Foundation volunteers care for the potted, white pine trees Davey donated before they are planted.
