2009Kids rewarded for sharing their spiritLast November, Imaginasium invited kids from The Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay to celebrate the holidays and decorate the firm’s large windows. For six weeks, their artwork helped spread cheer along busy Washington Street. A special website, BeFestiveWindows.com, was created so the community could view photos of the windows and vote for a favorite. After over 200 votes were counted, the window titled Be Different, created by two 8-year-old girls, took top honors among the seven teams. Morgan and Kristina each graciously accepted their prizes—an art bag filled with supplies (canvas, brushes, paint set, and palette)—from Imaginasium staff members during a visit to the Club. All participating kids received gift cards to Hobby Lobby so they could discover their own creative outlet. “The kids showed incredible spirit and creativity in decorating the windows. We received positive feedback from our clients and others in the community,” said Executive Creative Director Joe Bergner. “The windows artwork was not only enjoyable for us to facilitate, it also increased visibility for The Club, a valuable resource in our community.” The window project will continue in 2009 and is now an annual Imaginasium holiday tradition. “We’re already talking about next year and how to enhance the event,” Joe added. Imaginasium has supported The Boys & Girls Club of Green Bay for over a decade, working on The Club’s annual report and promoting their biggest fundraiser, A Taste of Wine & Cheese. |
