Fallston, MD (July 24, 2024) – In a heartfelt event, XenTegra’s CEO Andy Whiteside, together with Enterprise Sales Executive Duke Ciliberto and contest winner Brian Barnaba, presented a generous donation of $20,000 to the Humane Society of Harford County. This donation was part of XenTegra’s annual “Work Has No Boundaries” campaign, which offers participants a unique choice between an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii or donating the equivalent amount to a charity of their choice.
This year, Brian Barnaba opted to support the Humane Society, reflecting his deep passion for animal welfare. The donation will significantly aid the organization in its mission to improve the lives of homeless pets in Harford County.
Andy Whiteside, CEO of XenTegra, commented, ‘We are thrilled to see the impact of our “Work Has No Boundaries” campaign empowering individuals like Brian Barnaba to generously support causes that resonate deeply with them. This donation exemplifies the power of our industry partnerships and underscores our unwavering commitment to not just financial success, but also ethical responsibility—doing what’s right because it’s the right thing to do.’
“What an extraordinary impact this gift will have on the 3,300 dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, livestock and other kinds of animals that enter our shelter every year,” said Bob Citrullo, executive director. “Many of these animals need vaccinations and spay or neuter surgery, while others have extensive medical needs that require laboratory tests, x-rays and surgical procedures.”
“Our annual budget is about $2.4 million a year, a shoestring budget for an operation of our size,” Citrullo added. “We can’t keep our animals fed and warm, keep the lights on, or provide veterinary care without financial support from the community.”
XenTegra continues to demonstrate its commitment to making a positive impact in the industry and wider community, proving that corporate success and social responsibility can go hand in hand.
