“You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give,” according to Booker T. Washington. Despite the current economic downturn and global strife, CHSI employees display an unbridled passion for giving back to their communities. They have a profound understanding that life is better lived serving others.
In collaboration with the Disney program, “Give a Day, Get a Disney Day,” Megan Ranftl and Joe Burgess suggested that CHSI give each of its employees the opportunity to take one paid-day off to volunteer at a charity of their choice. Disney launched its program in September 2009 to encourage 1 million individuals to volunteer at participating charities for a free one-day ticket to a Disneyland or Walt Disney World themed park.
The CHSI team embraced the challenge, not only by taking part in volunteer work within the Disney guidelines, but also by participating in local charities that were not a part of the program. This further exhibits that the heart of the CHSI team does not beat for the tangible rewards granted for their good works, but for the quiet satisfaction of knowing their little acts make big differences.
Some recent events the CHSI team has participated in:
• The Reno team held a holiday food drive, which produced 222 lbs. of food to support the areas nutrition programs.
• Four members from the Las Vegas team participated in Kendall Tenney's 9th Annual
"Run for a Wish" to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Nevada.
• A member of the Las Vegas team donates time every month to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
• Three Las Vegas team members donated time to help Habitat for Humanity.
• One member from the Las Vegas team walked in the Southern Nevada March for Babies event benefiting the March of Dimes.
• Two members from the Oceanside team volunteered at the Tri-City Medical Center Carlsbad Marathon and Half Marathon.
• Members from Las Vegas team ran in the 15th Annual Susan G. Komen Southern Nevada Race for the Cure.
• A member of the Reno team volunteered to present the Choices Program to a freshman class at a local high school. The Choices Program is designed to teach young people that the choices they make today are important to their future.
