School Supplies Giving Back

by Cindy Crean     

Even though it’s been sometime since I have been “back to school”, the thought of summer vacation ending and going back to school always gave me mixed emotions. The one thing I did find exciting about going back to school was getting new school supplies…..especially new Sharpie Markers! Here is a wonderful list from artist Austin Kleon on his recommended school supplies for the young and not-so-young alike! School Supplies 2019

If you are looking to give back to underprivileged students, consider doing one of our School-related charity programs:
Art Kits for Kids

Or, Backpacks for Success

Either of these programs can be done at any time during the year as school supplies are always in need somewhere.

Give us a shout if you would like us to organize this type of team building event for your group.

Red Shoe Awards for the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley What a Fantastic Event

by Cindy Crean     

Last night we were so fortunate to be a part of the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley’s Third Annual Red Shoe Awards. The Ronald McDonald House epitomizes the idea of giving back to the community.  The Ronald McDonald House is located in Valhalla, NY, on the grounds of the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, and their staff and volunteers provide tremendous support to families whose children are in the hospital.  We loved the idea of people wearing red shoes to this event.   Thank you for honoring us as well.  We are so glad to have made the connection with Ronald McDonald House!  Learn more about Ronald McDonald House here.Red shoes and award

No one knows when a natural disaster such as a hurricane, tornado, or earthquake will strike.  That is why it is important to keep our local disaster relief agencies well stocked with hygiene kits that can be distributed in case of a natural disaster!
You can create hygiene and personal care kits with your team any time of year! In addition, it is possible to create hygiene kits specifically for children and pets.  Our Zombie Apocalypse program is a great team experience and a fantastic way to give back to the communities in which you live and work.
