Kicking off IFA's annual convention by doing good

The International Franchise Association always kicks off its annual convention with a service day. On Feb. 23, at its 59th convention, the “Franchising Gives Back Volunteer Day of Service” took place in Las Vegas, Nevada.

A group of franchise professionals did various projects for Richard J. Rundle Elementary, a Title I elementary school in Las Vegas. The volunteers built picnic tables, painted classrooms, and completed other to-do-list tasks for the school, which has many low-income students. In addition, a donation was made to the

school on behalf of the program. Service has become part of the culture in many franchise systems and has made a huge impact worldwide. The Franchising Gives Back program recognizes the contributions of franchise business leaders year-round. At an annual celebration, Franchising Give Back Awards salute the best, most innovative community leaders and charitable programs as well as the impact of these efforts across the U.S. and around the world.
