Since its founding, Sound Products has been a model of responsible corporate citizenship. The company actively supports community organizations, encourages employee involvement in public service projects and directly sponsors important community betterment initiatives.

The firm's principal beneficiary this year is the Sumner Academy of Arts & Sciences, a five-year college prep magnet school in the Kansas City, KS School District. Sumner serves students in grades 8-12 who come from diverse racial, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. Sound Products supports the Academy's music, theater and audio acoustics study programs through challenge grants and technical assistance.

Sound Products also gives back to the community through a wide variety of volunteer and community service activities. It has been an active leader in each of these organizations:

• Young Entrepreneur Organization
• Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program
• University of Kansas
• Junior League of Kansas City
• Junior Achievement
• Kansas City Zoo
• Families Blessed with the World's Children
• Leadership Kansas

Sound Products supports numerous not-for-profit organizations including Children's Mercy Hospital, Ronald McDonald's House, Harvesters and the Parkinson's Association.

Sound Products associates receive active encouragement to volunteer in organizations that improve the quality of life in greater Kansas City, including local chambers, service clubs, scouting organizations, church groups and school PTAs'.
