Florida-based Covenant Technologies, A leading information technology (IT) and cyber security staffing firm, raised over $20,000 for Hurricane Ian first responders in Lee County
EVENT KICKS OFF FIRM’S “COVENANT CARES” CHARITY, AIMED AT COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT AND WORKPLACE VOLUNTEERISM
FORT MYERS, FLORIDA – (December 6, 2022) – Covenant Technologies, a premiere staffing and recruitment firm in the cybersecurity and IT sector, raised $21,480 for first responders in Lee County, Florida.
The fundraising drive is a part of the firm’s ongoing commitment to provide a portion of profits to an exemplary community organization, charity or individual needing support. The monies were gifted through the Lee County Sheriff’s charitable organization, Home Front Heroes, to 20 sheriff deputies, who were financially impacted by the storm. The luncheon event took place at the Sheriff’s office last month.
“We are devoted Floridians at Covenant Technologies, and when we saw the devastation Ian inflicted, we knew we needed to come together as a team and do something,” said Casey Marquette, CEO of Covenant Technologies. “Our friends, families and neighbors were all impacted. As we all stood in the wreckage, we noticed police officers rescuing homeowners, sandbagging our coasts and handing out supplies. It was not lost on my team, that as these brave heroes helped our community piece itself back together, they also were suffering from the storm’s impact. We worked with the Lee County Sheriff’s office to identify 20 deserving first responders and it’s our sincere hope that this small gesture helps their families and recognizes their heroism.”
He added, “In addition to our mission to redefine the cybersecurity and IT staffing experience, Covenant Technologies is a company with a heart. This tremendously profound experience inspired us to form a charitable arm, Covenant Cares. This way, when our company succeeds, we are sharing that success with others.”
Covenant Technologies has seen its direct hire job pipeline grow 1350% from June to November this year and expects its contractor staffing business to grow exponentially in 2023.
“We are in rapid growth mode. We want to celebrate our achievements with the communities we serve. We already offer our employees VTO (volunteer time off) as a benefit, but now that we have established Covenant Cares, our growing team can help us scale our gifting and bring attention to causes they care about as well,” said Barri Cote, Marketing Director at Covenant Technologies. “The fun and bonding experience of giving back as a team was inspirational. We can’t wait to repeat it under our charitable arm, Covenant Cares. We can’t overstate how important our culture of caring is, it’s one of the primary reasons our team excels above our peers.”
“I can’t thank the people at Covenant Technologies enough for their generosity and dedication to the first responders of Southwest Florida,” stated Sheriff Carmine Marceno. “The Lee County Sheriff’s Office Family was not immune to the effects of Hurricane Ian but with strong community partnerships, like the one we have with Covenant Technologies, we will continue to rebuild, better than before.”
“It’s a wonderful way to end the year, as we close 2022, and look ahead to our first quarter in 2023. In addition to a tremendous swell of growth, and Fortune 100 clients who look to us to find them top cyber and IT talent, we also had the privilege of doing good work, for good people, as a team,” said Sal Trovato, Chief Operating Officer of Covenant Technologies. “Those experiences turn colleagues into friends and family.”
