Universal Events’ Community Give Back During the Holidays

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Dec. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- Many organizations make giving back a part of their operations, particularly through financial contributions. Some, however, take the idea further and make a clear and deliberate decision to help those around them. Universal Events, a marketing and consulting services firm, is one of those. Harmony stated that her team would be regularly dedicating some of their time during the end of the year to helping local charities and non-profit organizations.

The firm has previously participated in a number of community events and frequently makes financial contributions. According to Harmony, the team regularly identifies causes that are meaningful to them. Then, as a group they decide which ones they want to support. In doing so, they aren’t just giving back – they are supporting causes in which they truly believe, she explained. From there, they either participate in an existing effort or contact the organization to see how they can help.

“Volunteerism is a central part of our values,” said Harmony. “We strive to make that meaningful for each team member by involving everyone in the decision-making process.”

Some team members have even taken on the idea of giving back outside of Universal Events’ efforts with personal efforts like giving blood, helping clothing drives, and participating in adopt-a-family programs. It is clear that Harmony’s efforts have succeeded at making a truly personal impact.

Universal Events’ President Discusses Benefits of Giving Back

“The community supports everything we do,” she claimed. “It is completely in our favor to help strengthen our surrounding area. Ultimately, it will mean a stronger foundation for our company. It is also a great way to bring our team together while helping others. Community service is more than the right thing to do; it’s good business.”

It is well known that volunteering can make you feel good about yourself. Universal Events’ president asserts, however, that it can even make you healthier. She has noticed that her team actually takes fewer sick days around the times that they are volunteering the most.

“Giving back is definitely very rewarding,” she elaborated. “I think that this is a big part of the reason that people seem to get healthier by giving back. It is also often good exercise. Doing things like organizing events, cooking and distributing meals, and playing with hospitalized kids can be hard work! It is worth it though, for everyone involved.”

Harmony isn’t alone in this belief. She pointed out that several studies have shown that people who give back will have greater longevity, lower rates of depression, reduced incidence of heart disease, and even higher functional ability.

“I truly believe that these selfless acts benefit the givers as much as the receivers,” Harmony stated. “We’ll be volunteering this season, and you should too! It’s a win-win.”
