US$250,000 for the Rich Mauti Cancer
Fund, a local nonprofit that uses funds for
cancer prevention, education and directly
helps community members in their battles
against cancer,” Santangelo says.
Social Responsibility
Stone Creek embraces sustainability and
social responsibility in the way it operates its business. It has put in place a
recycling program to minimize waste, a
digital lighting system to optimize lighting usage while reducing energy waste
and a rain-sensing irrigation system that
prohibits watering of its landscape and
grounds during the rainy season.
Additionally, Stone Creek offers
bicycle racks at the club entrance to
encourage bike usage among club and
staff members, as well as actively
donates and raises funds for nonprofit
organizations.
Stone Creek’s latest fundraising effort
was to raise money for the Wounded
Warrior Project, a veterans service organization that offers programs and support
to wounded military men and women.
“Our general manager was inspired to
accomplish two goals with this campaign. The first was to raise funds to
help our military veterans recover from
the physical and emotional wounds they
suffer while helping to protect our way
of life. The second was to create a
public display of patriotism and military
support that would spark conversation
in the community and encourage the
public to get involved in showing their
gratitude and patriotism,” she says.
In its second year of fundraising,
nearly a dozen other health clubs across
the country joined Stone Creek’s “Salute
Our Soldiers” campaign. “[This has
resulted in] nearly US$100,000 in donations to the Wounded Warrior Project
and other Veterans’ organizations,”
Santangelo says. n
