In the recruiting business, it is easy to overlook the future of the workforce in today’s what-have-you-done-for-me-lately world. So, when we set out to create a foundation to help support worthwhile causes, it just made sense for so many reasons that they be those which support underprivileged children.
Last year, we were able to donate $20,000 to two great charities, Teach for America & The American Refugee Council.
The work these two organizations are doing is so necessary in our society, providing hope and opportunities to children who otherwise would not have any. As we get ready for the annual silent auction, which is held at our Fall ERE Expo, please consider helping support these causes.
This is our single-largest fundraising event of the year. The two easiest ways to help are to:
I thank you in advance for your support!
Yay, it’s that time of year again!
It’s only six months until the ERE Expo Fall 2008, and that means you’ll be at the gorgeous, beachfront Westin Diplomat Resort and Spa in Hollywood Beach, Florida, in no time, networking once again with your peers and learning from the best. And it also means that we’re only six months away from the ERE Foundation’s third-annual silent auction, so no time like the present to start brainstorming for great items to donate.
Money raised at this year’s auction, on Tuesday, October 28, will go toward funding educational opportunities for children around the world, with an emphasis on those who are most in need. And hey, the child you help today might just become a great candidate for your company tomorrow!
The great news is that the ERE Foundation is now open for your very generous (tax-deductible!) donations. So whether it’s a trial subscription to your company’s software, or a flat-screen TV, or two plane tickets to Vegas, or perhaps something even wilder, make your commitment to helping needy children heard!
Once your donation arrives, your company’s generous donation will be featured on the ERE Foundation website and on-location signage prior to the silent auction at ERE Expo Fall 2008.
So start brainstorming ideas for what you can donate today! If you already have some cool item ideas, send ‘em on over to Kate Bruener (kate@ere.net). If you need ideas, then check out the list of last year’s awesome donations. Any other questions, just shoot me an email (elaine@ere.net).
Good to see Teach for America helping out in Indiana. Teach for America is one of the beneficiaries of the Foundation’s donations.
The Foundation is taking donations for this Fall’s silent auction in Washington, D.C.
Let us know if you or your company is interested in donating. It’s such a great opportunity for the recruiting field (which generally has prospered the last several years) to give back, and ultimately help prepare the next generation of candidates for the job market and for their lives.
Let us know if you have any questions about donations.
