SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (CitizenWire) — International Document Services (IDS), a mortgage document preparation vendor, raised more than $6,000 for Atlanta Habitat for Humanity during the IDS Cycling Challenge at the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) 97th Annual Convention & Expo in Atlanta. IDS staff members, partners and conference attendees pedaled for a combined total of 202.06 miles over two days.
Volunteer riders included Chet Destefano, head of national retail sales for Capital One; Paul Harris, vice president of sales from Interthinx and Kerri Milam, principal at Depth Public Relations. In addition, several IDS customers and partners made contributions that will go to the Atlanta Habitat affiliate, including Del Mar DataTrac, Churchill Mortgage and Depth Public Relations.
“As a cycling enthusiast, I was excited to combine my love of riding with philanthropy to support a charity like Atlanta Habitat for Humanity that brings shelter to people in need. The IDS team all stepped up and took their turn riding the bike. It was a great way to lead by example,” said Paul Harris of Interthinx.
“This generous support from IDS will help us continue to provide green, quality, affordable housing for working families in Atlanta,” said Larrie Del Martin, president and CEO, Atlanta Habitat. “We have had enormous opportunities to make a difference in our city, and we are grateful to IDS and its customers and partners who contributed to this mission. They keep us going.”
“Sponsoring this type of event at our MBA conference exhibit was something very new to us, but overall, we think it was a success. The Docs in Motion cycling theme is very close to our hearts, as it speaks to both our corporate philosophy and our personal interests. To be able to leverage our brand to support such an important cause that’s so closely tied to our industry is truly an honor. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome,” said IDS President Curt Doman.
