At Barnum, we believe that making a meaningful impact brings purpose to our lives and the work we do. That’s why we’re proud to support the Foundation for Life, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization founded by Paul and Mindee Blanco. The foundation’s mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals and families in need by fostering change and building deeper connections within our community.
The foundation focuses on providing support to children and families facing challenges by delivering both financial and emotional resources. Its initiatives include fundraising, community outreach, and providing direct support to those in need.
Barnum employees actively support the foundation through donations, volunteering at community events, participating in fundraising efforts, and serving on its board of directors. In addition to our involvement with the foundation, we encourage and support employees who are passionate about giving back to their own causes, reinforcing the sense of community at Barnum.
