At MFS, an emphasis on learning the nuts and bolts of personal finance comes from the top. President & CEO Thomas Rudzewick is also one of the presenters. On December 21st, we dressed in our most festive attire for Ugly Sweater Day . Each employee donated money to wear an ugly holiday sweater which benefitted Forestdale, Inc., a non-profit organization that provides foster care, adoption, and child-welfare services in Queens and Brooklyn. On February 4th, our employees participated in Wear Red Day , a national initiative to raise awareness of heart disease. Donations were collected from our staff to benefit the American Heart Association and, as always, we matched the funds that were collected.
