We Care…Boys & Girls Club Holiday Event

MVE employees helped spread holiday cheer this December by participating in the Herman-Miller/Geiger sponsored We Care event. 125 underprivileged children from the Boys & Girls Club of Orange County in Costa Mesa, CA filled tables hosted by area design and architecture firms.

The goal of this event was to provide the children with the opportunity to make creative, heartfelt gifts for their friends and families during the holiday season.

"The best part about the We Care event was not only the fulfillment of giving something back to the kids, and also seeing the excitement of the children not to get something themselves, but to make something for someone else," said MVE Associate Jeff Canfield.

Because MVE's craft was such a phenomenal hit last year, to the delight of the children, MVE once again hosted a craft station centered on the idea of creating festive t-shirts where the children can make unique gifts using fabric paints and stencils.

"Our team had such a great time working the children last year that we increased our participation this season," stated John Garakian, an Associate Partner at MVE who played the role of Santa Claus in 2006. "We are so excited and thankful to have been invited to participate is this worthwhile event."

MVE would like to thank Big Studio Screenprinting for donating supplies for the t-shirt craft table.
