Primrose Schools Recognized for Showcasing the
Positive Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility
ATLANTA, June 4, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Primrose Schools® received two gold Stevie®
Awards, one for Marketing Campaign of the Year in the Education and
Training category and another for Corporate Social Responsibility
Program of the Year in the Large category for organizations with
more than 2,500 employees in the 22nd Annual American Business
Awards®. The awards signify how Primrose franchise owners, staff,
and Support Center team members work diligently to foster
belongingness and incorporate character development into every
day.
Primrose Schools won the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Program of the Year award for its Primrose Promise CSR program,
which is driven by its mission to forge a path that leads to a
brighter future for all children. As part of this commitment,
Primrose Schools and its over 500 independently owned schools
across the country have collectively donated more than $1.1 million and gifted over 900,000 items to
underserved children and families across the US since 2022.
"At Primrose, we are striving for a brighter future for all
young children across the country," said Jo
Kirchner, CEO of Primrose Schools. "It fills me with pride
to know that these awards are a testament to our shared mission and
the selfless contributions of Primrose franchise owners, staff,
support team members and the children and families we
serve."
The Marketing Campaign of the Year award is in recognition of
its marketing campaign for the annual Caring and Giving Food
Drive designed to bring awareness to the donation efforts
where children at Primrose schools nationwide work together to
engage in simple chores, activities and hands-on projects in their
classrooms and at home to raise money and donate food to
underserved children and families. Franchise owners and school
staff at each Primrose school host individual food drives each year
and donations are made to local food banks and charities to combat
food insecurity.
"We are honored to be recognized for our commitment to growth
and innovation in our marketing efforts," said Tim Roush, Chief Marketing Officer of Primrose
Schools. "Giving without expectation is woven into the work that we
do at every level of the organization, and we look forward to
reaching for new heights both in our impactful work and charitable
giving in 2024 and for many years to come."
More than 3,700 nominations from organizations of all sizes and
in virtually every industry were submitted this year for
consideration in a wide range of categories, and more than 300
professionals worldwide participated in the judging process to
select this year's Stevie Award winners. To learn more about how
