Reverie shows the love for Valentine's Day, volunteers for Sweet Dreamzzz, Inc

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. - Feb. 15, 2016 - PRLog -- To many, Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate the love two people have for each other as spouses and partners. To others, Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate their love for family and friends. To Reverie, a sleep systems manufacturer out of Bloomfield Hills, this Valentine’s Day was a day to show love for children in need.

On February 10, Reverie hosted a company volunteer event, “Showing the LOVE for Dixon Academy.” They packed the 330 sleep kits needed for Sweet Dreamzzz, Inc.’s upcoming R.E.M. (Rest. Educate. Motivate.) Sleep Education Program at Dixon Educational Learning Academy, taking place on Tuesday, Feb. 23, in Detroit.

Reverie’s Chief Marketing Officer, Lisa Tan, explains how the company’s partnership with Sweet Dreamzzz™ came to be and why it is important for both parties.

“We were seeking non-profit partners. We were incredibly impressed by the mission and accomplishments of Sweet Dreamzzz. Our leadership team passionately supports early childhood development, and sleep is a big part of enabling children to be the best they can be,” Tan said. “Partnering with Sweet Dreamzzz gives us the opportunity to support sleep education in an underserved population- children. Instilling healthy sleep habits in children will set them on the right path for healthy living and better learning as they grow.”

Reverie Office Manager, Hilary Strasberger, volunteered at the event and really enjoyed her experience.

“It was really fun and eye-opening,” Strasberger said. “It was a great experience volunteering and helping pack sleep kits for the children at Dixon Academy. It felt rewarding to know that we were involved in the process of helping children in need by setting up kits with essential items they can utilize daily.”

Reverie team members folded all 330 nightshirts and then created an assembly line to pack the sleep kits, each with a reading book, Remmy and the Brain Train: Traveling Through the Land of Good Sleep, informational parent letter, Sweet Dreamzzz nightshirt, toothbrush and toothpaste.

“One of the most exciting things about the Sweet Dreamzzz-Reverie partnership is being able to introduce our Reverie customers to such a great cause, and to give our team members inspiration through direct interaction with Sweet Dreamzzz and children receiving sleep essentials,” Tan said. “The Reverie philosophy must be brought to life by understanding what real sleep needs are and taking a hands on approach to addressing them.”
