Richard Phillips, Pilot Freight Services’ CEO, kicked off an
employee
appreciation picnic Wednesday at the company’s headquarters in Lima, PA ,
by thanking those gathered for their dedication, loyalty and results. The picnic
luncheon was also an opportunity to raise some money for charity. Employees donated $5 each to wear jeans to
work, which raised $655 for the Wounded Warrior Project. And several Pilot executives
agreed to take a pie in the face for a good cause. Employees donated $1 for each whipped cream pie toss, resulting in over $700 raised for Pilot’s neighbor, Fair Acres Geriatric Center.
