Big Angel BBQ
05/14/12
A San Antonio business has stepped beyond the generosity of financial assistance to hands-on involvement with the organizations and causes it supports. On Memorial Day week, Soldiers' Angels will be the latest organization to benefit from their support.
Preferred Landscape and Lighting, LLC (recently acquired by national company The Millard Group) has an extensive history of community involvement. In business for 17 years, they maintain connection to their local university, Rotary Club, and other need-based communication organizations. As they became more and more well-known for their financial support, they decided that they wanted to include a hands-on service component to get their 80 employees directly involved in the community. Getting their employees to take action is part of the company's management principle of "Servant Leadership," as President David Dunne explains, "It's part of who we are."
In a very creative answer to the company's outreach goals, Preferred Landscape and Lighting bought a 24-foot long mobile/towable BBQ pit! Each month the company's staff gets together to barbeque as part of fundraising for a San Antonio-area organization. In the last three years they have raised of $50,000 for worthy organizations, far more than they could have donated themselves.
On May 28, Preferred Landscape and Lighting will bring their mobile BBQ to the Soldiers' Angels Support Center as part of the Memorial Day commemorative festivities. It will be the second time they time they've done this for Soldiers' Angels. Soldiers' Angels discovered the mobile BBQ pit simply by word by word of mouth and is honored to have Preferred include SA in their support. "We evaluated Soldiers' Angels on the work they are doing and we felt they deserved our help," says David Dunne. We had wanted to support them." A huge thanks to David and his staff for their wonderful support!
