Rapport's "givers gain" community challenge
Combine the concepts of "The Apprentice" and "The Amazing Race" with the incredible power of giving back, and you'll get the 2006 Rapport "Givers Gain" Community Challenge. Five different teams proudly supported Making Strides for Breast Cancer, Coin and Can's World Food Day, Clark County Reads and our local environment by raising money, collecting cans and books, and cleaning up parks and bike trails throughout the Las Vegas Valley.
Each team aggresively took to the streets knowing that through synergy and teamwork they would make a huge difference, and create a ripple that extends through the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
Each challenge brought a greater understanding of the power of selflessness. Every team knew that this wasn't a race against each other; instead they raced to make a difference.
Any expectation we had couldn't compare to the amazing outcome. By the end of the day our team had raised $13,613.39 for breast cancer research, collected hundreds of cans, thousands of books and numerous bags of garbage. In additon, we deepened our understanding of the difference a team of people working together can make. As Michael Saletta explained, "Can a small group of committed individuals really change the world? Yes! In fact, that's the only thing that can!"
During the celebratory dinner afterward, team member after team member expressed how they felt about the experience of spending an entire day working together for a cause they believed in with nothing to gain. "I feel completely changed after today," said Crystal Saldana, Leadership Training Advisor, "now, more than ever before I know what 'Givers Gain' truly means."
Imagine the difference you and your organization will make in your community when you take the "Givers Gain" Challenge and spend an entire day supporting a cause? For more information on how to organize a "Givers Gain" event, contact your Leadership Training Advisor at (800) 989-0715.
Rapport will be participating in the American Cancer Society's "Making Strides for Breast Cancer" event on October 7, 2006. This non-competitive walk raises money for breast cancer research and support. To join our team or to make a donation visit the Rapport Team Website. All together Rapport has raised over $18,000.00 so far!
