BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Over 120
community organizations across the U.S. benefited from Bluegreen
Vacations Corporation's ("Bluegreen Vacations") annual Season of
Giving campaign. During the month of November, associates and
guests of the vacation ownership company participated in outreach
initiatives across its network of 60 United States-based
resorts.
The Company partnered with national organizations including
Feeding America, the Salvation Army and Camaraderie Foundation to
pack shelf-stable food for families in need; provide holiday gifts
to over 300 underserved children through the Salvation Army Angel
Tree program; and contribute over $60,000 for free mental health counseling for
post-9/11 veterans, service members and their
families.
In addition to the national organizations, the Company also
worked with local charities such as Clean the World, Give Kids the
World, Second Harvest, Mustard Seed, SOS Children's Villages,
Habitat for Humanity, Champion Autism Network, Toys for Tots,
Junior Achievement, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, and more.
"Each year, our associates enthusiastically partake in the
Bluegreen Vacations tradition of serving the communities where we
work and live and we couldn't be prouder of all they've done to
date," said Justin Taylor, Executive
Vice President and Chief People and Technology Officer. "This
Season of Giving has been a tremendous success with our
partnering organizations, and we are delighted to continue this
campaign, especially during this wonderful time of the year."
The month-long celebration kicked off with local charity fairs
where over 5,000 Bluegreen associates were encouraged to donate
their time, resources or money to local causes.
Associates rallied to the call and turned out to complete coastal
clean-ups, tutor and train school children, serve in soup kitchens,
participate in fundraising runs, and help build homes for families
in need.
Season of Giving is one of the philanthropic
campaigns that Bluegreen undertakes each year.
Committed to supporting initiatives that effect a positive change
in the communities in which it does business, Bluegreen supports a
variety of non-profit organizations through charitable events and
activities. In 2018 the company raised and donated over
$2.15 million in cash and in-kind
contributions to charitable organizations, while associates
completed over 4,600 volunteer hours.
