It's that
time of year again! Everyone is drinking EggNog, playing Christmas music, hosting
holiday parties and finding ways to spread holiday cheer. During the Christmas
season many people are reminded of how much they have to be grateful for and
take the extra effort to provide for those less fortunate. Working at C.Pharr
this semester, I have been very fortunate to see our clients extend this
generosity not just through the holiday season but all year long. Below I've
listed a few of my favorites I’ve gotten to be a part of in a small way through
writing press releases, photo announcements and event support. Each of these respected
companies have demonstrated leadership by taking an active role in their
communities.
McCarthy Building Companies Inc. Enacted Their Heart Hats Team.
McCarthy
employees and their families participated in the American Heart Association's
2016 Heart Walk. The event helped raise funds to save lives from cardiovascular
disease and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 5 cause of death in the U.S., and
promoted physical activity and heart-healthy living.
Trinity Christian Academy Engaged Students in the Democratic Process.
TCA's senior
government students volunteered to work the election polls. Many of these
students were first-time voters. TCA knows that teaching youth about the
importance of voting increases the likelihood they will vote now and in the
future.
ZAK Backs the Blue in Support of DPD's Fallen Officers.
ZAK Products
hosted a fundraiser and unveiling of its No. 83 Toyota Camry that honored the
fallen officers from the July 7th tragedy. Many came to the unveiling to see
the car, take pictures, and help raise money for families of the fallen
officers through the Assist the Officer Foundation. The “police car” raced
later that week at NASCAR's AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
Riveron Consulting Spreads a Day of Giving Throughout the Nation.
Each of the
Riveron Consulting offices chose a community partner to work with in giving
back to their community. The Denver office partnered with Tennyson Center for
Children helping those affected by abuse. The D.C. office cleaned up a vital
community garden with the United Way. The Minneapolis office worked with
BestPrep to help students prepare interviews and resumes to get jobs, and the
Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta offices each worked with Habitat for Humanity preparing homes for those in need.
We
are so honored to work with such exceptional companies! Their efforts are truly
making an impact on our community and help inspire our own giving efforts at
the office. C.Pharr seeks volunteer opportunities throughout the year, and this
Christmas we are excited to partner with Restored Hope Ministries, a safe house
for women out of sex-trafficking. This week our team gathered around the
conference room for coffee and treats, while we took time to write encouraging
notes to the women and collect goodies for their donation closet.This post was contributed by Krystal Smith, C. Pharr Intern.
