Syracuse, NY – May, 2016 – During the most hectic time in the life of a CPA, Syracuse Northeast Community Center challenged two local accounting firms, Grossman St. Amour CPAs PLLC and Dannible & McKee, LLP, to a friendly food drive competition. Both firms eagerly accepted the challenge, and together, collected 2,785 pounds of packaged foods and personal care items. Although Grossman St. Amour CPAs PLLC came out the winner by a slim margin of 25 pounds, the true winner was the Syracuse Northeast Community Center.
“The Challenge turned out to be not only quite competitive, but amazingly successful,” said Linda Gabor, CPA, Partner at Grossman St. Amour CPAs. Our employees were motivated to help SNCC and rose to the challenge during crunch time.”
