Off The Clock: Event raises money for Women Build Initiative

The second-annual She Nailed It competition was held at the Holiday Inn Fogelsville. The event, organized by Habitat for Humanity, supported the Women Build Initiative. This year, 16 teams of women from area businesses and organizations competed in the relay-style event, where each team member was required to hammer a nail into a piece of wood in the fastest possible time. To be eligible for competition, each team committed to a minimum contribution of $1,000. The teams were also encouraged to seek donations and sponsorships prior to the event. Pictured are teams Spillman Farmer Framers (left) and two members of the Lehigh Valley Swinger (of Alvin H. Butz Inc.) on the right.

Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation, the charitable division of Firehouse Subs – which has Greater Lehigh Valley locations – awarded more than $24,000 in life-saving equipment grants to Upper Bucks Regional Emergency Medical Services Inc., Jim Thorpe Police Department and Moravian College Department of Campus Safety and Police Department. Upper Bucks Regional EMS received an automated chest compression system worth $15,437. Jim Thorpe police received six automated external defibrillators and accessories worth $8,772. Moravian received an automated external defibrillator as a part of Firehouse Subs’ 1,000 AED Campaign, commemorating the chain’s 1,000th restaurant opening.
