Thank you to everyone who attended the 2022 Sunshine Fund Summer Party in Erie, PA, on August 12th! The Sunshine Fund party was held at the Erie Sports Center this year. Employees and their family members enjoyed a night of food, beverages, go-karts, mini golf, batting cages, and more. A Flickr slideshow of photographs taken at this year’s event is included below.
The Sunshine Fund was founded in 1996 by Fred Rizzuto and Bonnie Eccles. It started as a common fund that provided lunches and other courtesies to LP employees. As our company has grown, so has the Sunshine Fund. Today, it is an account held at Widget Financial that LP uses to send gifts to employees during troubling and joyous times (births, deaths, illnesses, etc.). The account also provides funding for company get-togethers such as picnics and other gatherings.

Logistics Plus was once again a proud sponsor of the NDIA Swing for Freedom Golf Invitational held in Washington, D.C. The annual golf outing is hosted by the Washington, D.C. chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) and benefits the USO-Metro. Since 1941, the United Service Organization has served as the vital bridge between Americans and their military service members.
As seen in the image below, Ryan Markiewicz, Blaine Kurtz, and Mike Callan (from L-R) represented Logistics Plus in the outing. The team tied for second place by shooting 12 under par. More importantly, the team had a great time supporting this vital cause.

Last week, the Logistics Plus Antwerp, Belgium employees gathered for a small team-building night. The team enjoyed a nice dinner and night at the bowling alley after work. As a growing office in the Logistics Plus global network, it was great for the employees to better get to know each other. Our employees in Antwerp speak six languages (Dutch, German, French, English, Russian, and Chinese) and have more than 20 years of experience in freight forwarding.
Rudy Claes, General Manager of Logistics Plus Belgium, said, “The Antwerp team continues our strive for growth and service to our customers. When working in such a fast-paced environment, it’s important for the team to slow down and enjoy each other’s company once in a while. It was great to throw some pressure away while aiming at the pins.”
If you’re located in Antwerp or any other surrounding community, your friends at Logistics Plus are ready to provide you with local, domestic, and global transportation and logistics services.
