Tivol’s September Giving Just As Colorful As The Fall Season
As Leaves Change To Brown, Orange and Yellow, Tivol Ushers In Fall With Continued Kindness
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (October, 2010) – Many things fall during September. Leaves begin to turn and drop from anchoring trees. Temperatures dip into the 40’s and prep us for the frigid winter right around the corner. Pre-season cynicism decreases in Chiefs fans as their gridiron boys start the season with three straight victories. One exception to September’s falling trend is Tivol’s community giving as the company continues to say thank you to Kansas City and the surrounding area during its centennial celebration through its “100 Acts of Kindness” campaign.
