CENTRIC LIGHTS UP NYC FOR MONTH OF GIVING
November 28, 2023
Today, on Giving Tuesday, Centric Brands lit up the Empire State Building in our signature colors – blue and white – to celebrate the end of our 2023 Month of Giving program. The month-long give-back event brought associates together across our North American offices to volunteer, raise funds, and collect toys and non-perishable food items for non-profit organizations in our local communities.
Each office partnered with local organizations that were chosen based on the causes that our associates are most passionate about. New York partnered with God’s Love We Deliver and WHEDco, Greensboro partnered with BackPack Beginnings, Greensboro Urban Ministry and The Jet Black Empowerment Foundation, Montreal partnered with Moisson Montreal and Batshaw Youth and Family Centre, and Los Angeles partnered with Para Los Ninos and Covenant House California.
Across our Company, our Centric community:
- Raised $25,000 for our community partners through donations with our Company match program and proceeds from our first-ever charity sample sale network program.
- Collected over 500 cans and boxes of non-perishable food for local food pantries.
- Packed over 35,000 meals for the sick and elderly with our partners God’s Love We Deliver and BackPack Beginnings.
- Donated over 200 toys and gift cards for children and families in need.
- Volunteered over 700 hours in a variety of ways, including packing meals for the sick and elderly, designing holiday cards, gift wrapping and delivering holiday presents to children in need, participating in the God’s Love We Deliver Race to Deliver 4M, and setting up Christmas trees for sick and underprivileged children.
Throughout the holiday season, and throughout the year, Centric Brands stays dedicated to the mission of Centric Cares – to serve and uplift the communities where we live and do business. We thank all of our community partners who have worked with us over the past month and look forward to continuing those partnerships.
