Year of Giving Back and Having Fun

Our Corporate Citizenship Team volunteers truly embraced the spirit of giving in 2024, not just in the workplace but in our community as well. The best way to create a meaningful impact is by doing what we love – whether it's baking, playing games, or coming together for a good cause. Let’s take a look back at some of the heart-warming moments that made our corporate social responsibility activities so special this year. 

Baking for a Cause: Two Sweet Bake Sales 

What could be more enticing than the sweet aroma of home-baked goods wafting through the office? And what better way to raise funds for a good cause? Several different types of banitsa, cupcakes, brownies, hot dogs, exquisite cakes – our team made sure every taste would be catered for. The results – as satisfying as the food. All the proceeds went to support those in need, while leaving our sweet teeth satisfied along the way. 


Spreading Holiday Cheer: Charity Initiative for Christmas Gifts 

Taking care of the ones in need is the best indication of how big one’s heart is. As the holiday season approached, we wanted to spread some joy to those who might not have access to the same warmth and comfort.  We organized a charity initiative where we collected Christmas gifts for children in foster homes, for the elderly in care facilities, and for dogs and cats sheltered by Animal Rescue. The outpouring of generosity was not just heartwarming, but it also made us all proud. It was incredible to see how our team’s efforts brought smiles to so many faces. Yet another year in which we were reminded that the simplest acts of kindness are the most powerful.


Donating Life: Two Blood Donation Campaigns

Our commitment to giving didn’t stop at charity drives – we also rolled up our sleeves (literally!) to donate blood. Over the course of the year, we organized two blood donation campaigns, and it was truly inspiring to see so many of our colleagues come together to help save lives. Each donation may seem small, but collectively, it’s a powerful way to make a real difference in our community.


Fun at Work: Leap Year Quiz and Board Games Night 

While all these initiatives gave us a feeling of accomplishment, we also had fun along the way. This year, we hosted a couple of fun events that brought us all together in the spirit of friendly competition. Our Leap Year Kahoot quiz was a huge hit, with everyone testing their knowledge of leap year traditions and sharing some laughs. And for those who love a good game, our board games night was the perfect way to unwind, bond with colleagues, and win bragging rights.


Looking Back with Gratitude 

As we reflect on last year’s activities, we feel proud of what we’ve accomplished together. We can look forward to 12 more months filled with laughter, team spirit and meaningful contributions. Each initiative, each event, and each donation help us grow as individuals and as a company.
