Team TAG and the BOYS & GIRLS CLUB of VENICE Partnered for Annual Fall Gala & raised $189k!

Oct. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Held at the Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Ray,  the purpose of the Gala was to raise enough money for the renovation of the club’s main learning room, where the children go to improve themselves both academically and personally. Thanks to Team TAG's volunteers, the event was a huge success. It's always great being apart of a business and a community that gives back, here's what a few of our volunteers had to say!

“It was very enriching to see the smile on the kids’ faces and see so many people come together for a great cause.  The amount of time, money, and effort put into this was overwhelming and I feel very privileged to have been involved in the fundraiser.” – Ryan Seibel

The event was hosted by local Fox Sports Net reporter Michael Eaves, who was impressed with the commitment by the volunteers from Team TAG.  “I have hosted several events through the years, but I have yet to encounter anyone who was as prepared and organized as [Team TAG].” – Michael Eaves  

With the help of Team TAG, the Boys and Girls Club was able to raise a total of $189,000.  Although a little shy of the goal of a quarter million, the event was an incredible success.  The event even attracted local celebrities even including Shannon Brown, guard for the Los Angeles Lakers.  

Jaime Hepp, owner of Team TAG, could not have been more pleased with the outcome of the event.  “I am very proud of our team.  We had 45 of our staff members unselfishly give up their Friday evening to make this event work.  We were escorting people, running merchandise in and out of the ball room, selling the items, training people on the iPods – everything ran like a well-oiled machine.  I love our team, and ultimately, the kids at The Club love us too.  Over 4,000 kids will receive great after school programs because of successful events like this one.” – Jaime Hepp

This event was only one of many that Team TAG has volunteered at in an attempt to reach out in a positive way to the community.  Advocated by owner Jaime Hepp, the value of service and giving back is a core value held at Team TAG.

“It was awesome to see so many people come out for a great cause!  It’s great that Team TAG has giving back to the community so ingrained into the company culture.  True success is being able to share it with others.” – Mani Disuanco

"If you want to feel fulfilled and accomplished, dedicate your life and work to serving others. It's addicting, contagious, and endlessly rewarding. You go to bed feeling amazing, and wake up wanting to do more!" -  Donielle Brickner

Great job to Team TAG and all their volunteers!
