The Bright Side: Proforma Hosts Holiday Gift Drives in Ohio & Florida

The annual holiday tradition helps children in need through partnerships with Providence House in Cleveland, OH, and Joshua House in Tampa, FL.

Key Takeaways

• Counselor Top 40 distributor Proforma’s (asi/300094) support center teams in Tampa, FL, and Cleveland, OH, celebrated the holidays by hosting wish list drives that provided gifts and support for children in need.


• Donations benefited Providence House in Cleveland and Joshua House in Tampa, organizations that offer safe shelter and stability for children facing crisis situations.


• An addition to giving back, employees enjoyed festive celebrations with meals, games and raffles, fulfilling all holiday wish lists for both charities.

Proforma’s (asi/300094) support center employees are usually focused on finding solutions for clients and customers. But during the season of giving, they also used their time and resources to give back to children in the communities where they work and live.

The Counselor Top 40 distributor held holiday parties at its support centers in Tampa, FL, and Cleveland, OH, where team members contributed to wish list drives benefiting kids in need. Specifically, gifts and proceeds went to Providence House in Cleveland and Joshua House in Tampa.

Proforma Holiday Drives

Proforma (asi/300094) team members came together to celebrate the holidays and give back to their communities.

Since 1981, Providence House has provided safe shelter to children newborn through 12 years old who are living in unstable situations in the greater Cleveland area, along with support services for relatives to help keep families together. Joshua House provides a safe, nurturing, family-like environment for children in the Tampa Bay community, with the goal of helping them heal and find placement permanency.

Proforma has been partnering with these nonprofits for several years, according to the company’s Vice President of Human Resources Kathy Mayo.

“These organizations provide shelter, stability and care to children facing crisis situations,” Mayo said. “Our annual wish list drives are a meaningful way for the Proforma family to help make the holidays a little brighter for them.”

Proforma support center team members also celebrated the year over shared meals, themed games and raffle prizes. By the time the festivities concluded, the wish lists for both Joshua House and Providence House had been fulfilled.

Proforma ranks fourth on Counselor’s most recent list of top distributors, based on 2024 North American promotional products revenue of $662 million.
