Why is social responsibility important? Well, there are several obvious reasons, breaking monotony, lifting spirits, cultivating friendship.
But the most important reason is to increase positive culture within an organization. Just think about it. People spend more time at work than with their families!!! The 40-hour workweek is almost a thing of the past. So creating strong relationships with co-workers is important.
This week we spent some time with some of our favorite people. The folks from the Walt Disney Company and their social responsibility team. Yay!

we’re excited to have Foster Love – Together We Rise attend this event and to introduce their wonderful programs to Disney’s other regions and Social Responsibility teams.
Disney VoluntEARS have helped with several teams builds including Sweet Cases, Build-R-Bike, Build-A-Board, and Birthday Boxes. Every team build is a delight. We can’t wait to see them in the near future.
