Family Centers Honors Stamford resident for Volunteer Work

At its 122nd Annual Meeting on Oct. 22, Family Centers recognized a local business leader for his dedication to helping families in need. 

Toyota of Stamford’s General Sales Manager Brandon Campbell was named the agency’s 2013 Family Champion.  For the past several years, Campbell, a Stamford resident, has worked to ensure that Toyota of Stamford’s community outreach efforts benefit Family Centers’ most vulnerable populations.  Whether he’s collecting holiday gifts for families in need or organizing fundraising events to create a preschool scholarship fund, Campbell has made it his mission to give back to the community in which he lives and works.

“Over the past three years, Brandon has secured more than $10,000 in gifts for families who would not have otherwise enjoyed a happy holiday season,” said Bob Arnold, President of Family Centers.  “His boundless enthusiasm, creativity and unquestionable commitment to helping others is an inspiration.  My hope is that it is contagious and that other members of the business community follow his lead.”
