SBGA is Proud to Recognize Outstanding Volunteers at Spirit of Volunteerism Awards!

    HENDERSON, NV, May 05, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Run by OneOC, Spirit of Volunteerism Awards is the oldest, largest, and longest running volunteer recognition event in Orange County. It is an event that not only recognizes individual but group and corporate team volunteers for dedicating their time to Orange County. This event celebrates the involvement of community volunteers and shows appreciation towards them for putting their precious time aside to help improve our community. SBGA is proud to recognize Jessica Jankowski and Thyda Sar for being honored as Outstanding Community Volunteers in Orange County at the 2016 Spirit of Volunteerism Awards.

This year's Spirit of Volunteerism Awards ceremony was hosted at the Disneyland Hotel on Thursday, April 28th. Nominated by many non-profit organizations and companies, hundreds of deserving volunteers like Jessica and Thyda were recognized and honored.

"Jessica and Thyda are part of a great team at SBGA who strive to improve our community by dedicating their time and effort," commented Senior Vice President Bob Parisi. "Both of them have contributed their time, skills, and enthusiasm to promote volunteering, and we are truly grateful for their efforts."

Previously, Jessica and Thyda helped donate hundreds of backpacks filled with essential school supplies to the local Boys & Girls Club, volunteered at the local food bank to assemble thousands of boxes of non-perishable food items for low income families, participated in the annual Coastal Clean Up Day removing trash from local shorelines, and more. In the upcoming volunteer event, Jessica and Thyda, along with other SBGA Volunteers, will be helping to pass out water, snacks, and medals to Marines, veterans, and supporters as they run to raise money for the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

"I was excited to receive this honor. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the community that has helped me in the past," shared Thyda. Jessica commented, "Volunteering is a great way to meet other people interested in helping and improving your community."

The cornerstone of SBGA business philosophy is acting in a socially responsible manner. Team SBGA is committed to giving back and helping those in need, and they are proud to be making a difference.

"I'm thrilled to be able to help honor these outstanding women who are dedicated to helping in any way they can," said Jolie Hales, head of the SBGA Volunteer Leadership Committee. "They personify the spirit of giving that we encourage in all of our team members."
