Dear Aladdin clients and friends,

 

Happy Holidays to you and yours! All of us at Aladdin hope you and your family have a great season and enjoy the religious celebration that you practice. Additionally, we hope you have a prosperous New Year!

 

Three years ago, to honor our clients, employees and friends, we began making gifts to food banks in markets where our customers are headquartered. As we have grown, the list of communities we help support has grown as well.  

 

This year, in addition to the 12 organizations we support nationwide, we expanded our giving by asking clients and friends to vote for not for profit organizations close to Aladdin. The top organizations from this survey received additional contributions.

 

It is a special time of year, and all of us have been blessed with great clients, employees and friends. Thank you for enabling us to support worthy agencies that are working to help those less fortunate.

 

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year,

 

Ricky Shore and the Aladdin team
