Trend gives back to the community through the generous support of many charities and worthy causes in the form of donations, in-kind printing, promotion and volunteer assistance.

California

For nearly 10 years Trend has participated as Premier Sponsor of the Casa Youth Shelter in Los Alamitos, the location of Trend's first plant and corporate headquarters. The shelter serves approximately 200 youths per year by providing shelter and counseling services to runaways and youths in crisis.

Trend is the sole Platinum sponsor for Breast Cancer Angels of Cypress and provides volunteer and promotional assistance. Breast Cancer Angels support women with cancer in Southern California who need housing, food and medical aid.

In 2007 Trend will again serve as a Platinum sponsor for the 16th annual Komen Orange County Race for the Cure. Trend also enters runners in the event and encourages employees to participate in the race that raises money for research, education, screening and treatment in the fight against breast cancer.

Florida

Trend lends a helping hand to the Jacksonville Zoo and I.M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless.

A donation sponsored a fruit bat exhibit and the addition of a jaguar on the new Wildlife Carousel at the Jacksonville Zoo. The Jacksonville division also sponsors the annual ExZOOberation fundraiser, which supports the care of animals, educational programs, and conservation initiatives.

In addition to the Jacksonville Zoo, the Florida division also holds an annual employee holiday drive to collect gifts and canned goods for families at the I.M. Sulzbacher Center for the Homeless.

Walk America is the largest fund-raiser for March of Dimes. Money raised from Walk America goes toward the prevention of birth defects and infant mortality through research, education, community services and advocacy. Trend participated in the Jacksonville four mile walk at the Jacksonville Landing in late April. Trend Florida raised more than $5,500 for the cause and was named the Best New Business Participator.

The Walk America fund-raiser began in 1970 and today is held in 1,100 communities across the United States and involves seven million participants.

Texas

Texas generously gives back to the World Craniofacial Foundation in Dallas. Funds donated by the Texas plant have helped to provide resources for children with craniofacial abnormalities, and the health professionals who care for them.

For example, Trend Texas donations have contributed to financial aid grants for families with children in need of treatment. Funds have also supported a health professional education program for those who treat craniofacial abnormalities.

Donations from Trend Texas also support the World Craniofacial Foundation's Visiting Professorship Program, which allows for craniofacial specialists to lecture and perform surgeries around the world.
