A hopping good time was had by all at Shriners Hospital for Children – Northern California. As a special Easter surprise, 27 employees from Mortgage Operations at Paramount Equity Mortgage held a “Build a Bunny” party for Shriners patients and their families. The Spring Event took place Wednesday April 1st in the hospitals central activity area. Festivities included a Build a Bear project, an ice cream social, and a special musical performance by singer/songwriter and Paramount employee, David Zaragoza. “We all had an amazing time with the children at Shriners Hospital; it has had such a positive impact in our lives.” Says Aimee Manzo, Paramount employee and event organizer.
Paramount Equity encourages their employees to volunteer in their community, through a benefits program called The Power of One. Paramount Equity gives 1% of each employees annual hours back to the employee to use in the form of volunteer/charity work. This equates to about 20 hours of charity work per employee per year. Paramount Equity’s Mortgage Operations department combined their efforts to use their volunteer hours to help Shriners Hospital for Children. Paramount Equity employees also did some internal fund-raising to make a financial contribution to the Shriners Hospital as well. “We find our employees become very empowered when they have the opportunity to volunteer their time to a cause that they are truly passionate about.” Say Hayes Barnard, Owner and President of Paramount Equity Mortgage.
