HOLiday Cheer Program Provides Gifts and Support to Deserving Families

This holiday season, SOLitude Lake Management has continued its annual HOLiday Cheer efforts through The SOLution, the company’s corporate volunteering and community outreach program. This month, SOLitude donated $8,634 worth of toys, clothes and other necessities to hospitalized children as well as eight under-resourced families throughout the country, bringing total donations through this impactful program to $46,174 since its inception in 2012. In addition, SOLitude’s Massachusetts and Virginia Beach offices helped collect $6,600 worth of donated gifts from the surrounding community for Toys for Tots and Noblemen’s Toy Drive.

The HOLiday Cheer families “adopted” this year reside in New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Florida, Texas and Arizona. The families, which include 24 total children, were selected by SOLitude colleagues and school guidance counselors based on nominations showing a true need for support during a time of financial and emotional hardship. SOLitude and colleagues generously purchased $6,474 worth of gifts from the children’s wish lists to include items such as coats, shoes, games, books and sports gear. Each family also received gift cards to purchase additional household items and groceries for the holiday season.

Alongside family contributions, SOLitude delivered $2,160 worth of gifts to children spending their holidays at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Springfield, MA, the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters (CHKD) in Norfolk, VA, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Golisano Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida. Gift deliveries were bolstered by SOLitude’s annual social media campaign, which contributed an additional $10 for each new social media follower the company received over the past month.

“The success of this program is not possible without generous support from our clients, partners and colleagues,” Director of Marketing Tracy Fleming said. “We are honored to bring much-needed joy to deserving children during the holidays and pleased to impact deserving families in the local communities we serve.”

SOLitude’s HOLiday Cheer efforts are backed by The SOLution, a company-wide program that encourages the company and all employees to strive to “create a better world” through volunteerism, community outreach, sustainability and environmental consciousness. SOLitude’s company leadership feels it is important to not only be good stewards of the environment, but also to fulfill company core values to “take action and be accountable” and to “protect and respect nature.”
