FUN.com Proudly Sponsors 5th Annual Greater Mankato Juneteenth Celebration and Declares Juneteenth as Company Holiday
PRESS RELEASE
NORTH MANKATO, MN – June 19th, 2022 – FUN.com, a leading online retailer of fun and unique products, is honored to announce its Bronze Event Sponsorship for the local 5th annual Greater Mankato Juneteenth Celebration. The Greater Mankato Diversity Council organizes this event to commemorate the historical beginnings of African American independence in the U.S.
Juneteenth holds great significance as it is a day of reflection, education, and celebration of African American culture, history, and achievements. FUN.com recognizes the importance of Juneteenth and is committed to supporting initiatives that promote diversity, inclusivity, and equality within the community.
In addition to the sponsorship, FUN.com is excited to announce that we will be observing Juneteenth as a company holiday for the first time this year. This decision reflects their dedication to creating an inclusive work environment and recognizing the historical significance of this important day.
CEO Tom Fallenstein expressed his thoughts on FUN.com's values and commitment to diversity, stating, "When I look at who we are, one of the first things I see is that we embrace people for who they are, and we encourage them to be confident and comfortable being themselves. I take pride in the fact that we don't ask people to abandon their self-expression at the door. We want everybody to wear what they like and be who they are. We know that being happy, confident, and comfortable is important to our individual quality of life. Being able to feel supported while still being able to express yourself helps everyone be the best version of themselves, and we want every single person who works here to be the best possible version of themselves."
FUN.com is dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace for all of its employees. They show this dedication through initiatives such as sponsoring the Greater Mankato Juneteenth Celebration and making Juneteenth a company holiday. These actions clearly demonstrate FUN.com's ongoing commitment to promoting equality, understanding, and respect for all.
