Team Appreciation Post + Mission Edge June CSR progress update!
This month has been FULL to say the least. 2 MAJOR project kickoffs and one MAJOR project close out. All within 30 days, two of which were this week. For context, four years ago this is the amount of work I would have accomplished in one calendar year - we're working on hyperspeed here, folks!
Oh, and one HUGE difference: I've got a team around me. Michelle Fujisaki-Thomas, Becca Branch, and our intern Roxana Wolff truly make magic happen every day.
These projects have been months in the making:
First, University of San Diego's 75th Anniversary Volunteer Project Kick Off! This was no small undertaking, 1 U-Haul, 400 Fanny Packs, and nearly 1000 bottles of shampoo later, we hosted the first collection event of what will be a year-long service project benefiting Monarch School.
Second, San Diego Gas & Electric A Sempra Energy Company's Intern Volunteering Project. 5 teams, 30+interns, 40-hour projects....also a logistical feat! This projects kicked off with an energy packed orientation on campus at SDGE this week.
Lastly, Qualcomm's Social Impact Giving Initiative Showcase. 10 organizations, $50,000 grants, half a million dollars in funding to support orgs doing social impact work. The impact this makes on the orgs who receive funding makes me remember why I do this work (GETTING RESOURCES TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM MOST!!).
Oh, also, we're working on a video project! Why not throw that in?!
There will be more to come on all these projects. But for today, I am feeling grateful for my team - none of these would have gone as smoothly this month if is wasn't for the hard work you have been putting in over the past 6 months. You make it look easy!
Lastly, thank you to our amazing clients who work hand in hand with us to make these projects a reality. Thank you for trusting us with this work and supporting us in getting it off the deck and into reality! Megan Vallone Marvin Ordonez Coreen Petti Russell Yost, APR Andrea Bell, MNA We appreciate you!
