TAYLOR participates in annual “21 Stories For Scouts” event

Rochester, NY As part of the 8^th Annual Seneca Waterways Council “21 Stories For Scouts” rappelling event on May 19^th, Steven Hickey, David Ricci, Geoff Cook, Ryann Cook, and Jon Fogle accepted the challenge to defy gravity by rappelling 21 stories, or 309 ft., down the First Federal Plaza in downtown to support the Seneca Waterways Council Urban Scouting program.

“TAYLOR was once again honored to participate in one of the most unique fundraising events in the Rochester community, building awareness for the Seneca Waterways Council Urban Scouting program,” said Director of Business Development, Geoffrey Cook.

“We would not have been given the chance to go ‘beyond our boundaries’ without the many friends and associates who stepped forward to meet our fundraising goals, helping to bring Scouting’s character and leadership development programs to under-served youth in the Greater Rochester and Finger Lakes communities.”

Ryann was following the window foot prints of her husband, TAYLOR Director of Business Development, Geoffrey Cook, who rappelled for the second time since 2014. They were joined on the Rochester skyline by current TAYLOR Superintendents, Steven Hickey, and David Ricci, and by close friend and lending partner, Jon Fogle, Regional President of Five Star Bank.

In addition to Team TAYLOR, more than 80 local business leaders and scout supporters took advantage of this unique fundraising event. Through company contributions and online donations, 100% of monies raised went directly to support Urban Scouting programs, including more than 31 after-school programs run in the city.
