Gulf Coast Events Sets Philanthropy Goals for 2015
The team at Gulf Coast Events is setting company goals for 2015, including several objectives pertaining to community service. According to the company's director, philanthropy has always been a major part of the firm.
Houston, TX, May 29, 2015 (Newswire.com) - For Gulf Coast Events, community service is a significant factor in culture and team building. Alex, the firm’s director of operations, indicated that her team members make sure to create a list of organizations each quarter and then agree on one to support. In doing so, they not only are able to give back to the community, but also accomplish several key business objectives.
“Our local community has done so much for us,” Alex stated. “It is the foundation on which we have built a successful business. As such, when we give back, we are strengthening that foundation so we can continue to grow and succeed. It is also a great way to help our team come together as a group. Philanthropy just makes sense for us as a business.”
"There are benefits for the team as well,"
Alex, Director of Operations
According to Alex, community service actually benefits the giver as much as anyone else. Several studies have shown that volunteering is linked to better physical and mental health. People who do so regularly are notably happier than those who rarely or never give back to their communities. She pointed out that everyone tends to feel good after helping others.
“There are benefits for the team as well,” she indicated. “Working cooperatively is an excellent way to build morale. This is compounded when the objective is something that everyone can get behind, like helping the community. Doing so also helps us at Gulf Coast Events strengthen our relationships with other members of our local area.”
Gulf Coast Events’ Director Shares Creative Ways to Give Back
Giving to charity is definitely a noble act, but it isn’t something everyone has the flexibility to do. Even those who do may not want to limit their involvement to simply giving funds. Alex suggested a few of the more creative ways that the Gulf Coast Events team gives back to the community. For example, sponsoring youth sports teams is a great way to help while also getting publicity.
“Organizing or participating in a holiday food drive is also a worthy undertaking,” she added. “It takes a bit of effort to sort through everything, but it’s extremely helpful for local food banks. Another possibility is to hold a contest with the prize money going to a local charity instead of the winner. You can potentially find sponsors for such an event. There are lots of ways to give back.”
