Anthem Events on Volunteering for Fair Hill Point

Trooper, PA, June 26, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​Volunteering is a big part of Anthem Events’ company culture. Giving back to the community provides benefits to people in need and brings the firm’s team members closer together in the process. As Liz, the company’s president, said, “When we take part in volunteer activities, camaraderie among our team members always seems to lift. There’s a rewarding feeling that comes from giving back, and it spreads throughout the entire group.”

Anthem Events’ team members recently participated in a unique volunteer event at the Fair Hill Race Track in Elkton, Maryland. The Fair Hill Point-to-Point is a steeplechase-style horse race that is run over a timber course. The event also features a carriage parade, live music, food, and a parade of classic cars. Perhaps the best part is that all proceeds from the event are donated to the Fair Hill Nature Center. This organization offers programs focusing on environmental stewardship and equine therapy.

"The team-building effects of volunteering are tremendous, and that's only the beginning when it comes to positive outcomes,"

As Liz explained, “I love anything to do with equine therapy. I used to volunteer for a group that helped patients with physical and mental disabilities through horseback riding. We make it a goal to be part of a new event every quarter, and I’m so happy that we helped Fair Hill Nature Center’s mission. We will continue to be involved in our community.”

Company leaders received a message of thanks from the event organizers. As the president commented, “It was a lovely note. They thanked the volunteers in particular, adding that they couldn’t have made the event such a success without their efforts.”

Anthem Events’ President Outlines Benefits of Giving Back

The leaders at Anthem Events know that giving back to the community boasts a wide range of benefits. “The team-building effects of volunteering are tremendous, and that’s only the beginning when it comes to positive outcomes,” added the president. “There are so many more advantages to giving back, and they have real impact on a brand.”

Volunteering can lead to enhanced name recognition for a company. As Liz explained, “We operate in a competitive marketplace, and anything you can do to boost your company’s profile is worth doing. In the case of volunteering, you don’t need extra incentive; it’s enough to just help people and feel good about doing it. However, it’s undeniably good publicity for your brand as well. Consumers will connect your name with the worthwhile causes you’ve supported. They’ll also know something about the values your company upholds.”

Recruitment and retention strategies can also benefit from volunteer activities. As the job market and economy continue to improve, this is especially important. “We know that millennials and other professionals want to know their work makes a difference and that their companies share their values,” added the president. “By giving back to the communities in which we work, we at Anthem Events are better able to keep talented people and attract dynamic candidates.”
