The Community Involvement and Corporate Giving Committee, or "Carroll Cares", is a group of Carroll employees who work to institute a company-wide approach to providing financial
and non-financial assistance to worthy causes.
Our two primary responsibilities: (1.) identifying which community, charitable events, and volunteer activities to
participate in or sponsor, and (2.) overseeing and facilitating all Corporate giving and monetary donations made on
behalf of Carroll Independent Fuel Company.
How It Works
All requests for corporate donations or volunteers are filtered through the Corporate Giving Committee for consideration and
approval. Any solicitations for volunteers, financial support, or sponsorship must be submitted in writing to the
Corporate Giving Committee at 2700 Loch Raven Road, Baltimore, MD 21218 or via fax at 410-366-1223.

Information about this year's tournament

children's hospital in the country. To date we have raised over $72,000 for the John's Hopkins Children's Center.
Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk - Each year, Carroll employees and their families participate
in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk held in downtown Baltimore. Each year, the Making Strides Against
Breast Cancer Walk raises over $250,000 towards the fight against Breast Cancer.
GEDCO Food Drive - We hold an annual food drive each year to benefit the GEDCO (Govans Ecumenical Development
