We welcome you to "SAVE THE DATE" and join our first annual Rent One and Great Expectations Day at the Diamond!
The Great Expectations Foundation was created by Rent One's owners, Larry and Sharon Carrico, to enhance the lives of children throughout the Midwest by awarding grants to communities, organizations and groups aimed at helping children age birth to 18.The Great Expectations Foundation awards grants two times a year for programs aimed at children's education, fitness and wellness, and emotional and spiritual development. As a local and national foundation, Great Expectations makes it possible for smaller communities that may not have access to financial assistance get help for their younger residents so that they have the opportunity to develop as individuals.
Since 2012 we have raised a total of $262,133. Our employees donate per paycheck and that amount is matched twice - once by Rent One and once by Larry and Sharon Carrico personally. Each Rent One Regions' (composed of 6 to 9 stores) managers come together to pick a charity in their region to receive a grant from Great Expectations. Below is a list of variety from the past years choices:
Our mission: to continue to expand Great Expectations while giving our vendors premium access to our executive team.
Our vision: continue to score big for kids in our home towns!
