The Kforce Story: 50 Plus Years of Great People Delivering Great Results

On August 2, 2012, Dave Dunkel presided over the ribbon cutting for the Hope Children’s Home, a Tampa-based organization that built cottages making it possible for abused and orphaned siblings to live together in a family setting. Kforce and associates, as well as the Fezziwig Foundation, donated over $600,000 to the project. More than fifty Kforce associates spent four months training with “Team in Training (TNT)” to participate in events supporting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). Participating in events across the country over the last two years, the Kforce team has raised over $186,000 and received the “Top Campaign Recognition Award,” which honors the team by connecting the Kforce name to an LLS funded project. Mary Jo Ferris, Kforce strategic accounts executive and TNT coach, said, “Organizing and being a part of the TNT team was one of the most rewarding experiences that I’ve had at Kforce. Giving back is so important, and to see our group come together for a cause was inspirational.” Marc Ulrich, market vice president, San Diego, was also touched by the experience. “To say I was inspired by the hundreds of survivors cheering, the thousands of families lining the course, and runners/walkers with their honorees on their race jerseys, is a massive understatement,” he said. “This experience really shows the power of the human spirit, and people making a difference.” These are just a few of the ways Kforce and associates have given back to the communities in which they live and work and the less fortunate around the globe. There are countless other examples from across the country. “Ray Morganti sets the example for all of us,” said Randy Marmon. “He just sees the opportunities that the rest of us miss.” Yet Ray himself is quick to give credit to Dave Dunkel, the executive sponsor, whose wholehearted commitment to stewardship makes the SCC’s work not only possible, but also the norm at Kforce. It is what makes them all, as Dave puts it, “blessed to be a blessing.” 1. Front row: Stephanie Osceola, Alexa Guidetti.
