Team TAG participates in Boys and Girls Club Charity Poker Tournament

Team TAG took several top leaders and partnered with the Boys & Girls Club of Venice. Held at the Hustler Casino, the purpose of the poker tournament was to raise money towards the engaging program for youth, Junior Staff. Junior Staff is a professional program that was developed to assist at-risk-teens with discovering their career paths. Thanks to the Poker players and Team TAG's volunteers, the event was a huge success.

With the help of Team TAG, the Boys and Girls Club was able to raise a total of $21,629, an increase from last years Charity Poker Tournament. Danielle Chi, director of events for B&G asked our representatives to help raise more money towards Junior Staff. Not only did Team Tag energetically greet poker players at the registration desk, the team, led by Stefanie Tringhan encouraged sells of tickets for a Kobe signed basketball and a bike raffle.

Team TAG also participated by playing in the Poker Tournament and buying raffle tickets. Team TAG would like to thank those who participated and contributed to Junior Staff: Jeremy West, Blake Wilson, Tariq Shaikh, Maria, Mirza Ulasoglu, Aykut Eren, Andrew Barkman, Bryn Dudkowski, Michael Schuessler, and Sam Chen.     

This event was one of many events that Team TAG volunteers in. Team TAG takes pride in being part of a community that gives back.

Team TAG Participates in 25 Days of Giving

It is officially the last month of 2012 and the Christmas season is upon us all. It is one of our favorite times of the year because it is a great season of giving. As a company, we have a motto of not only do we work in a community, but we love to give back to the community whether in big or small ways. For this Christmas season, we are excited to have 25 Days of Giving Back to LA. Each day of December we will have a random act of kindness to do in our city and spheres of influences.

The schedule has been as follows:

Day 1: Make a stranger smile.
Day 2: Don’t gossip. Speak well of others and give 3 compliments to someone
and really mean it.
Day 3: Thank the mailman, janitor or any service person you encounter today.
Oftentimes these service workers go unnoticed and do the work that many people
do not like to do.
Day 4: Write down 5 things you are thankful for on a piece of paper and post it
somewhere you can see it often.
Day 5: Buy a coffee/give something to a homeless person. There are many
homeless people in LA and oftentimes they go without food or shelter for days.
Day 6: Call your parents/loved ones and tell them you love them and appreciate
them for all that they do for you.
Day 7: Laugh heartily and spread holiday cheer to one and all
Day 8: Find 3 or more items in your closet to give to a local charity place (i.e. Goodwill or Jewish Women’s Council)
Day 9: Go and meet your neighbors and get to know them.
Day 10: Send a holiday card to a friend(s)
Day 11: To be announced via Facebook…

Each day leading up to Christmas, we will be revealing what to do. Each task will be a way to build a stronger relationship with those around them. Also to spread holiday cheer. There is not enough kindness in the world that is encouraged and developed. We are excited to hear how people will effect change to those all around them. Post to our Facebook page or email us ways that this has affected your life!

Happy Holidays!
