Giving Tuesday, and Everyday

November 30, 2020

 

Meyers Brothers Kalicka, P.C. believes in the power of Western Massachusetts. Giving back to our community is something that we believe strongly in, is embedded in our mission and vision, and is something that we regularly do. We succeed when our community succeeds.

 

This Giving Tuesday, we encourage you to take your efforts one step further. In addition to donating to a local charity or Not-For-Profit organization, consider some ongoing efforts to commit to for the new year. At MBK practice giving all year-long.

1. Monthly Initiatives. Each month, two team members choose an organization and lead the charge to get MBK involved. Initiatives can include collecting money for donations, attending a NFP event, volunteering as a group, and/or participating in awareness campaigns. Some of the most recent organizations that we’ve worked with include:

2. Dress Down for Charity Days. Every payday, MBK employees have the option to pay $5 to participate in a themed dress-down day, with 100% of funds benefiting a local organization. Charities include organizations such as Holyoke Soldiers Home, Toys for Tots, The Massachusetts Special Olympics, Westfield YMCA, Martin Luther King Jr. Family Services, Rays of Hope and so many more. Ideas for your dress down can include: blue jeans, football, alma mater, country club, favorite hoodies, sneaker day, travel/vacation, concert tee-shirts, and flannel Friday!

3. Sponsorships. Last year, MBK Partners donated to 48 additional Western Massachusetts organizations on behalf of the firm.

Creating a structured program will help you and/or your organization stay committed to your intention to give back this coming year. Look for organizations in your area whose mission aligns with something you believe in or want to support. Set the intention. Make a plan, and extend Giving Tuesday beyond December 1, 2020!
