Last week we joined forces with Green2Gold and the United Way of Santa Barbara to help put on a free book give-a-way. Although the turn out wasn't what we expected, it was still good to be apart of it. We aided in the transportation of the books as well as physically handing out the books at the event (check out our Flickr photostream on the right-->).
After we wrapped up the event last Friday evening, I began to think about all the good we could do as a company. We already support sustainable business practices and try and buy local, organic and sustainably sources goods when possible, but I was thinking more of helping others out. Its so easy to donate a few hours of our time or a few dollars to local organizations that really need it. So we have made a Doing Good Pledge for 2011. What does this mean? I'm not really sure, but I know I will try and personally make the time to help out when I can. One thing we've been wanting to do is team up with a local organization and put on a golf tournament. This would be great for everyone involved and would bring money and press to the organization we team up with. So if you know of an organization that is looking for help. Have them give us a call! I have been apart of golf tournaments before and they are always fun and everyone really chips in to make it happen. So keep checkin back in. Will keep you up to date on the process!
