As part of our 1st Annual Fill a Box of Cheer event, the Dawson Group Corporate Office recently donated 15 shoebox gifts to the Kamloops Family Tree.
In the first few weeks of December, thirteen volunteers held a fundraiser to collect items and funds with a goal of wrapping 15 shoeboxes, valued at $50 each – 5 for children, 5 for men and 5 for women.
“The event was a great success! I am always amazed by the generosity of our group and I was so happy to see everyone in the office participating,” said Chief Human Resources Officer, Lena Secord. “From start to finish, the event was a great example of the culture of teamwork we have at the Dawson Group.”
“There was an elf-like spirit in the office, as employees shopped for needed items, and returned their donations. Even our assembly event felt like a celebration, with Christmas tunes playing and coworkers talking and laughing while they sorted through items and wrapped boxes.”
“It was also so heart-warming to be in the Family Tree home and feel the joy and warmth as mothers visited and children played, such a deserving organization.”
“This event really embodies our most important core value – People First – not only by working to ensure our own employees are happy and safe, but by extending this value to the families in our community.”
