ANNUAL TOP 100 LIST REVEALED
On February 12, IPSF revealed the 2015 list of the Top 100 Businesses Supporting a World Class Education at a private reception sponsored by the Resort at Pelican Hill. The event was attended by executives from Hoag Orthopedic Institute, Reproductive Fertility Center, The Irvine Company, Great Park Neighborhoods, Angels Baseball, Google, Waste Management, Microsoft, and many other prominent Orange County businesses, along with elected officials, board members, and members of the President's Circle. "We are incredibly grateful to partner with so many socially-responsible companies, and hope our community will patronize these generous businesses that support our schools," said Neda Eaton, IPSF President and CEO.
The event featured special guest speakers, Warren Moon, Pro Hall of Fame Quarterback and David Meltzer, CEO of Sports 1 Marketing. "When we moved our business to Irvine, we established a connection with IPSF right away. It's important to us that everywhere we go, we get involved and give back to the community," said Warren Moon. David Meltzer shared the business principles that drive Sports 1 Marketing: "Our values are simple, gratitude and empathy....the more you give, the more you get."
Sports 1 Marketing is a presenting sponsor of IPSF's 5th annual Tee It Up for Education Golf Tournament on June 4 at Strawberry Farms, which will also benefit the Crescent Moon Foundation. |
