Nearly 30 employees from 1SEO volunteered their time and talents and provided all of the supplies needed for each child to paint a Frosty the Snowman portrait including canvases, brushes, paint and also an instructor to assist the children in their creative efforts. The volunteers also provided pizza and party treats.
