The importance of charity work is something that we don’t think about often enough. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day; so much of our lives are spent dealing with the immediate needs of our children, spouse and job.
It’s for this reason that Wayne von Borstel, President and Founder of von Borstel & Associates, is standing up and pleading with the public to donate this holiday season because he knows how important it is to give back.
“I really want the public to know that giving back to charity is such an important thing to do,” he said. “I believe in being a good person and providing comfort wherever it’s needed, and I think that giving back is a large part of that.”
Wayne von Borstel not only feels this way as a businessman, but also as a father. He has two children who are growing up in a world filled with hate, greed and sadness.
“I try to involve my children with different types of charitable causes,” he said. “I want them to understand that there are other people out there who don’t have the same opportunities that they do, and I think it’s important for them to know this.”
Von Borstel & Associates is a company that’s always striving to give back. Its employees are very aware of the good deeds done by family members and friends, and strive to replicate these actions by helping those in need.
“Our company is very philanthropic,” he said. “We’ve been a sponsor of the Special Olympics for several years, as well as other breast cancer awareness and Alzheimer’s Awareness events.”
It’s this type of passion that Von Borstel transfers to his employees, working hard to make sure that his company is doing what it can to help those in need. His management team plays an active role in organizing the firm’s various charity activities, making sure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to giving back.
