TQL was proud to provide 24 volunteers for Cincinnati’s annual “Paint the Town” event. This day-long event involves more than 1,000 volunteers and corporate sponsors, such as TQL, banding together to rejuvenate homes in need of a little “TLC.” Painting a mass of homes in a concentrated area can truly serve as a catalyst to lift up a community. Neighborhoods are chosen according to need, and qualified homeowners are encouraged to apply for the service.

Volunteers work in groups led by experienced team leaders to paint an entire home of someone less fortunate. Watch TQL transform this house in just one day!

TQL employees formed 16 bowling teams who bowled their hearts out in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters’ annual Bowl for Kids Sake event. A total of 64 employees participated in this friendly competition, raising a total of $5,200 in donations for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati.

“This night has been amazing; not only for Big Brothers Big Sisters, but for me to witness this kind of enthusiasm from the TQL employees. I have heard it said before that TQL employees work hard and play hard, and they didn’t disappoint. This has been a phenomenal night for us,” said Kathy List, president and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Cincinnati.

“Having a Bowl For Kids Sake fundraiser has been something that Big Brothers Big Sisters has done for a long time. What was different about tonight was the TQL experience. Everyone that came through the door was genuinely excited to be here. They put forth their best effort, they raised a lot of money, and they really helped children succeed.”
