2020: A Look Back at Our Year

2020 has been a year like no other. From a promising start to all areas of life shifting because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s been a wild ride! Thankfully, our team was still involved in many rewarding projects this past year. Read an overview of our year below!

We wish you all an abundant measure of the things that truly matter during this unusual holiday season. Our traditions and celebrations may look a little different this year, but we can still be grateful for our many blessings.

Thank you to our industry partners, suppliers, and colleagues who inspire us daily. And lastly, thank you to our team: you are the most talented, passionate people in this business!

The Mix: A Party with a Purpose

On February 8th, we gathered with some of our favorite people to party for a good cause at The Mix. We were thrilled to announce that the event raised $95,015 for charity! Our team was so grateful and humbled to witness this outpouring of generosity.

Charity Golf Tournament

We were fortunate to host our annual golf tournament in person! Although we were uncertain how it would look and feel given the state of things, we were grateful for the outpouring of support and participation! The event raised $45,000 for charity!

Blanket Drive for Bridging

This was our second year in a row of hosting this blanket drive for Bridging. It continues to be heartwarming and rewarding to see our clients, friends, and family donate blankets each year! We successfully collected 100 blankets, and Custom One Charities matched that with 100 pillows. Special thanks to our friends at JC Penney’s Woodbury for their support!

12 Days of Christmas

2020 was stressful and challenging for families. As a new initiative, we asked the community to nominate a family that could use a little extra holiday cheer this year. We planned to select 12 recipients, but as families were nominated and stories were shared, we opted to take on 17 families. This initiative was so meaningful to our team, our board, and the families we helped.

We have a Board of Directors!

We are grateful for the time and energy our board committed to this year as we took on new programs, fine-tuned our process and governance, and grew as a charity! Cheers to you all for a very successful year of growth and giving!

Thank You!

We also continued to support our friends and partners at Bridging, Make-A-Wish, Spare Key, Woodbury Community Foundation, and the Woodbury Boys Hockey Association! Take time to learn more about all of these organizations; they are doing great things! Stay tuned for our 2021 programs, events, and opportunities to support our mission!
