Random Rippling - BRHS gets new trees on campus
posted: Nov. 13, 2009
On Friday, November 6, 2009, 215 employees of locally-based certified public accounting firm Katz, Sapper & Miller, LLP donated their time for KSM Community Day, the firm's first-ever day of community service. Employees spent the day working to provide a "green makeover" of the school grounds. The project was coordinated by Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, Inc. Ornamental grass, bulbs, and 50 trees were planted around the school as part of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful's NeighborWoods program, which has a goal of planting 100,000 trees in the city of Indianapolis between 2007 and 2017.
"Katz, Sapper & Miller has a long history of giving back to the community through our participation with a variety of charitable and not-for-profit organizations," said David Resnick, Managing Partner. "Establishing an annual day of service where we could integrate our philanthropic interests with our environmental concerns seemed like a logical next step, and we're excited to be partnering with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful in this important endeavor at Broad Ripple High School."
"We are so proud of this inaugural partnership with Katz, Sapper and Miller," said David Forsell, President of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful. "KIB works in a collaborative process, bringing together people from all over the city for the common purpose of cleaning up and greening up. Broad Ripple High School came to KIB through our Project Green Schools program looking for just that. The work that will be accomplished at the school will have a long-lasting impact on the school grounds, the students and the neighborhood."
