Brenny Transportation named first recipient of the Transportation Intermediaries Association’s 3PL Samaritan Award
Alexandria, VA –September 9, 2010- The Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA) is pleased to announce Brenny Transportation as the first recipient of TIA’s 3PL Samaritan Award.
Following are just a few examples of Brenny Transportation’s charitable outreach which includes them being awarded “The Business Gives Award” in 2008 and 2009 by the Governor of Minnesota for contributing at least 2 percent of their gross income to charity. So far in 2010, Brenny has donated to The American Heart Association, the Boys and Girls Club in St. Cloud, MN, the local Food Shelf; the Area Humane Society, and The Place of Hope, a local homeless shelter & treatment facility.
Brenny’s schedules events every year such as in October, a food shelf donation, November, a coat drive and in December, “Trucks and Toys”, the “Toys for Tots” campaign.
Brenny has been twice awarded with The Patriotic Employer Award for its exceptional treatment of their military team members and their families. Brenny also donated the proceeds of its 2008 team appreciation party to the families of military, a National Guard benefit program.
“Over my 30 years in transportation I have witnessed many folks struggling with trying to find their true purpose. Once the acceptance sets in that the purpose of human life is to serve, wonderful things will begin to happen, as they have for me and my amazing team at Brenny Transportation. We truly believe in people before profits, we really do get back 10 fold what we give, Brenny is proof! It is an honor to serve our community as well as an honor to serve the transportation industry,” said Joyce Brenny, President of Brenny Transportation.
“The Selection Committee was overwhelmed by the number of families and charities that have benefited from Brenny’s generosity”, said Robert Voltmann, TIA’s President and CEO. He went on to add that Brenny’s dedication to its community is evident not only by the amounts contributed, but by the company’s gift of time and talents. After reading all the Brenny team accomplished, I couldn’t agree more that “acts of charitable activity is a way of life at Brenny.”
“The selection committee of TIA members received 22 nominations for the 2010 award. The committee’s task of selecting a single recipient was very difficult. The generous and giving spirit of the third party logistics industry in general, and TIA members in particular, is amazing,” Voltmann added.
The TIA 3PL Samaritan Award will be presented at the uDrove Humanitarian Bowl on December 18 in Boise, Idaho as part of the bowl’s overall recognition of the transportation industry’s humanitarian efforts, which also includes the Truckload Carrier Association’s presentation of their Highway Angel Award. As an added bonus, TIA will launch a TIA Foundation Charity Fun Run at the 2011 TIA Convention, and Brenny Transportation will be able to designate a charity as the recipient of funds raised by the fun run.
The recognized service or assistance can take any form from volunteering logistical support to providing manpower, resources, or financial support to others in need, sponsoring sporting events, providing scholarships, hiring disabled people or other types of community service. The purpose of the award is to recognize the good works in which the 3PL industry is engaged by highlighting a specific 3PL Samaritan effort each year.
