Does it really matter?
In the bustling rhythm of board meetings, strategic planning, and navigating the ever-evolving market trends, it's easy for us, as business leaders, to become enveloped in the microcosm of our work. However, every so often, an opportunity arises that beckons us to look beyond our corporate confines and make a real, tangible difference in our wider community. Today, I want to discuss such an opportunity—an event that, despite my usual reserve from personal public posts, I feel compelled to share with my peers in the business world.

The Boys and Girls Club of the Big Bend is hosting its annual Steak & Burger Dinner in 2024, an event that not only serves as a celebration of the achievements of our at-risk children and teens but also as a crucial fundraiser to ensure the continuation of support and programs dedicated to their growth and safety. As CEOs and business leaders, our attendance and contributions can make an incredible impact.
?
Why is this event so significant, and why should it matter to us as business leaders? The answer is twofold. Firstly, the value in having a direct impact on the lives of young individuals is immeasurable. By supporting organizations like the Boys and Girls Club, we contribute to a safe haven for children and teens to learn, grow, and thrive. These are future leaders, innovators, and perhaps future employees who, with the right support, will go on to achieve great things.
?
Secondly, attending the Steak & Burger Dinner is a testament to our commitment to corporate social responsibility. In an age where consumers and employees alike are increasingly looking to align with companies that genuinely contribute to societal well-being, our participation is a powerful statement. It reflects our values, our vision for a better world, and our belief in giving back to the community that sustains our businesses.
?
This event is more than just a dinner; it's an opportunity to inspire and be inspired, to connect with fellow leaders who share a vision of making a meaningful difference in the world. It's a chance to directly impact the lives of young individuals who need our support now more than ever.
?
I urge my fellow CEOs and business leaders to join me at the Boys and Girls Club of the Big Bend's 2024 Steak & Burger Dinner. Let's stand together for a cause that extends far beyond the boardroom—a cause that has the power to change lives and build a stronger, more compassionate community. Your presence can light up the path for these young souls and perhaps, in their success, we'll find one of the most rewarding investments of our careers.
?
I warmly invite you to join Keynote Speaker Coach Mike Norvell, or contribute in any way you can, confident that your support will undoubtedly forge a brighter future for our emerging leaders.

Amazing. In 2005 we produced a local radio spot for their Long Branch, NJ location. Some of our earliest marketing work. “Jersey Mikes - A slice of life” is the tag I recall. It’s incredible to see how far the brand has come! Great job!
