Core Services' Team in the Community
National Night Out: On October 5th, 2008 Core Services sponsored Child ID Kits for National Night Out in Texas and exapnded their involvement as more Core employees joined in local National Night Out events.
The "25th Annual National Night Out" (NNO), was a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW). 2007's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials from over 10,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities and military bases worldwide. In all, over 35 million people participated in National Night Out 2007.
In partnership with the NNO, The National Child Identification Program helps to locate the more than 800,000 children that go missing every year in America. That's one child every 40 seconds. The National Child Identification Program is the largest child identification effort ever conducted, helping to protect more than 10 million children in the last 4 years.
The Starlight Gala: With goals of raising money for the American Cancer Society and introducing young professionals to philanthropy, the Starlight Gala was established in 1996. Comprised of Houston's brightest young leaders, these young philanthropists give back to the community in a big way.
The 13th Annual Starlight Gala was held on March 29, 2008 at the Edwin Hornberger Conference Center, located in the Texas Medical Center. With goals of raising more than $100,000, "Lone Star Tribute: Honor and Remembrance Under the Texas Sky" was a smashing success. Large donors and companies have backed the young professional group since its inception, and last year was no exception. The 2008 list of super donors included Core Services as well as Gallagher Healthcare, AIG, Compass Bank, AspenTech, The Bradsby Group, Andrews and Kurth LLP, Continental Airlines, Southwest Airlines, John P. McGovern Foundation and Karma Nine Marketing Firm.
In addition to being a Table Sponsor and Donor the last two years, Core Services' Director of Marketing and Events, Jennifer Lasida, has also volunteered her time and skills. As an event planner, Jennifer has worked as a site committee co-chair on the event's operation planning and execution, and she manages the food/beverage and staffing during the event. Jennifer will continue to work with The Starlight Organization- next year's event will take place on Friday, May 15th 2009.
