Several staff members at Signs Now’s Sarasota, FL headquarters volunteered their time to donate a vehicle wrap for Southern Manatee Fire & Rescue’s Fallen Heroes Memorial Ride, which was transported to New Jersey to pick up a beam from the World Trade Center skeleton. The organization asked Lee Manevitch, Signs Now’s technical-support director, to enlist Signs Now employees.

Jami Rhoades, a Signs Now senior graphic designer who developed the wrap’s graphics, and David Tolson, the company’s center-support manager, assisted with applying the wrap. The team printed the graphics on its HP L25500 eco-solvent, latex-ink printer, with Avery’s MPI 1005 Easy Apply RS media.

A fire-department truck towed the trailer that picked up the 3,300-lb. beam for the memorial, which will be dedicated on Sept. 11 at the Southern Manatee Fire and Rescue Administration building in Sarasota.
