At Property Works, we’ve been honored to partner with Best Buddies in Georgia since 2019. This incredible nonprofit is all about promoting inclusivity, friendship, and community engagement for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Best Buddies International is the largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical, and economic isolation of the 200 million people worldwide with IDD. Through their amazing programs, Best Buddies empowers individuals to form meaningful friendships, secure jobs, improve communication and advocacy skills, and live independently.
Property Works recently reached out to our friends at Best Buddies, and here’s what they had to say:
“Through their unwavering commitment, Property Works has sponsored numerous events, including the Friendship Walk, Champion of the Year, and pivotal programs across Georgia. Their contributions have not only made a tangible impact but have also exemplified corporate social responsibility at its finest.
Since the inception of their partnership, Property Works has invested over 50,000 in Best Buddies in Georgia illustrating their dedication to fostering a more inclusive society. These funds have been instrumental in elevating the visibility of the Best Buddies programs, underscoring the importance of championing a community where everybody belongs.
The Friendship Walk, a flagship event of Best Buddies in Georgia serves as a beacon of unity and solidarity. Through event sponsorship and employee engagement initiatives, Property Works has played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of the walk, enabling participants to come together, celebrate diversity, and advocate for inclusion.
During the fall season, Property Works participates in the Champion of the Year gala, an annual event hosted by Best Buddies in Georgia. Through this event, participants have the opportunity to support their favorite Champion Candidate while forging meaningful connections. Not only has Property Works invested in sponsorship through this event but has had employees serve as campaign managers and volunteers for participants with IDD—a testament to the transformative power of shared experiences. Property Works’ generous support has helped make Champion of the Year a resounding success, further amplifying the organization’s efforts to foster a more inclusive society.
Beyond sponsoring marquee events, Property Works’ contributions have extended to supporting Best Buddies in Georgia’s diverse array of programs throughout the state. From leadership development initiatives to employment programs, their partnership has empowered individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to realize their full potential and lead fulfilling lives. By investing in these programs, Property Works has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to creating positive change and uplifting marginalized communities.
As Best Buddies in Georgia looks ahead to the future, the invaluable support of corporate sponsors like Property Works remains indispensable. Their generosity, compassion, and dedication serve as a beacon of hope, inspiring others to embrace diversity, foster inclusion, and build a more equitable society. The lasting partnership between Property Works and Best Buddies in Georgia stands as a shining example of corporate social responsibility in action. Through their shared vision and collaborative efforts, they have created a ripple effect of positive change that reverberates far beyond Georgia’s borders. As they continue their journey hand in hand, their impact will continue to resonate, enriching lives and building a brighter, more inclusive future for all.”
Best Buddies envisions a world where individuals with IDD are fully integrated into schools, workplaces, and communities, rendering its current efforts and services unnecessary. Property Works proudly supports Best Buddies because their mission aligns with our own commitment to #DoWhatsRight, #CreateGreatThings and #MakeADifference. We look forward to our continued collaboration with this incredible organization to achieve our shared goals.
