Simon Says Give, an Organization Helping Children In-Need, to Receive Donation in Support of Charitable Efforts

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - (Marketwired - Apr 14, 2015) - Simon Says Give, an organization founded by Mandi Simon, a local child who is working to make a difference in the lives of children in-need, is receiving a $10,000 donation from Express Employment Professionals, the nation's largest franchised staffing company, along with its franchise locations in Edina and Eagan, Minnesota.

The donation is part of The Impact Project, an initiative of the Express Employment Professionals philanthropic committee, designed to give back to nonprofits nominated by franchisees among their 725 franchise locations.

"We pride ourselves on having a culture built on giving and service at Express," said Bob Funk, CEO of Express Employment Professionals.
