  • Last week, the AD team came together to give back to children in need at Cradles to Crayons Philadelphia. By sorting, packing, and preparing donations, we were able to play a role in making sure every child has the resources they need to grow, learn, and succeed. From team spirit to giving back, it was an inspiring day that truly embodies the heart of who we are. We’re grateful to Cradles to Crayons and our AD teams for working together to brighten the lives of children and create lasting change in our communities. #TogetherWeHelp #ServeOthers #GivingBack
