Armanino Celebrates Its Sixth Annual Great Give

A Day of Community Service Helping 22 Nonprofits

SAN RAMON, Calif (May 15, 2014) Armanino LLP, the 29
th
largest accounting
and business consulting firm in the nation and the largest based in California,
announced today that their community outreach program, the Great Give, will
take place on Thursday, May 22. The company-wide program provides
opportunities for employees to contribute their time and energy to positively
impact their local communities.

Armanino is proud of its tradition of partnering with philanthropic organizations
through the Great Give program. I have seen first hand the meaningful difference
we make when we work together to improve the lives of others, said Managing
Partner Andy Armanino.

As the Great Give enters its sixth year, Armanino is seeing more involvement
than ever, as 360 employees volunteer over 2,000 hours to a variety of nonprofits
and charities. They will be doing everything from serving meals, painting
buildings to habitat restoration and helping seniors and children.

Started as a one-time event, it has turned into a yearly tradition where all
Armanino employees are encouraged to nominate charities in their individual
communities. Once narrowed down to a final list, employees select which
nonprofit they will spend the day helping.

Every year Im impressed with the dedication shown by our employees, said
Armanino. As the firm continues growing, adding both people and locations, Im
inspired by the high level of participation and desire to revitalize our
communities.

Since 2009, Armaninos Great Give has donated over 10,000 hours of
community service to more than 100 nonprofit organizations including local
schools, assisted living communities, animal shelters, food banks, homeless
shelters, community parks and more.

This year, the Great Give will have Armanino employees rolling up their sleeves
to assist with repairs and maintenance, working on beautification and gardening
projects and prepping for fundraising events and community outreach. All told
