The Hillman Group and FC Cincinnati have entered a new partnership focused on strengthening community impact in the West End and surrounding neighborhoods in Cincinnati.
“Hillman is honored and thrilled to enter this partnership with FC Cincinnati, a team and organization so committed to giving back and fostering positive change and growth,” says Jon Michael Adinolfi, Hillman’s president and CEO. “Since 1964, when our company was founded in Cincinnati, service has been the foundation of everything we do. It drives how we support our customers, empower our employees and uplift the communities we serve. Joining forces with FC Cincinnati perfectly aligns with the heart of who Hillman is, and we are looking forward to seeing all we can accomplish together.”
Through the partnership slated to run five years, Hillman and FC Cincinnati will engage in community-centered projects, like building benches in public spaces for children to use while playing and learning outdoors, hosting a trade school workshop for students and introducing students to career opportunities. The organizations will also hold a DIY sweepstakes where FC Cincinnati fans can enter to win Hillman-owned products for their own DIY project of their choice.
“This partnership is an exciting opportunity to expand our impact and connection with our community–a core value of FC Cincinnati,” says Jeff Berding, president and co-CEO, FC Cincinnati. “We are pleased to collaborate with Hillman, an organization that shares our vision for giving back and making Cincinnati the best place to live, work and raise a family.”
