As we roll into October and look back on the events of the past months, there is a great need for support for those who’ve lost so much. I find myself actively giving to charities and people more than ever. With the disastrous events occurring so close to home, and looking around at some of the biggest problems New Orleans is facing, it seems that help is needed everywhere.
So now is our time to step up to the plate and give back for all that we received 12 years ago. I’ve nicknamed October 2017, “Donation Month.”
This month, focus on supporting a cause, lending a hand and helping someone in need. Whether through financial or human capital, you can make a difference in various and creative ways according to your distinct style and passion.
Here at Renaissance Publishing, we have formed a foundation — Renaissance Foundation — to give back via company events. You will begin to see our events with a new logo and tag line, “A Renaissance Foundation Event.” We host nearly 50 events a year, and now ticket proceeds will go to help a deserving cause.
To me, giving is rewarding, so this month reward yourself and give.
