SWINGLE RECEIVES CORPORATE RECOGNITION AWARD FROM FAMILIES FIRST

DENVER – On May 13, Families First presented its 2009 Outstanding Corporate Support Award to Swingle Lawn, Tree and Landscape Care at the Friends Spring Luncheon held at the Denver Country Club. Each year this award is given to a business that has shown its commitment to community involvement by supporting the work of Families First. Since 2006, Swingle has donated landscaping service to Families First including caring for lawn, bushes, trees, drainage and irrigations systems and creating a spectacular holiday light display at The Family Center each holiday season.

The award was accepted by Swingle’s CEO, Thomas R. Tolkacz. He concluded his remarks by saying, “The entire team at Swingle is truly honored and appreciative of being recognized by Families First. We believe in the vision of the guiding principles the founders and board of Families First have set forth and think helping just one child or twenty is worth our contribution, seeing that over 4,000 phone calls annually have been taken by Families First regarding support, tells us we are doing the right thing.”
