global communications company embraces corporate social responsibility commitment for Central Floridians with disabilities
On February 9, 350 Orange Business Services employees from across the Americas donated their time, energy and creativity to help renovate the facilities of Quest’s Camp Thunderbird, a retreat in Apopka, FL dedicated to providing a real summer camp experience for children and adults with special needs, such as autism.
Orange Business Services participates in a local philanthropic activity near the location of its annual Americas kick-off meeting. This year volunteers worked together at Camp Thunderbird to renovate campsite dorms, paint and clean playground equipment, cut new trails, raise perimeter barriers, build new benches and elevated garden boxes, and create arts and crafts items for the children and adults of the camp.
“It’s wonderful to see a major international company like Orange Business Services facilitate these renovations and show such a strong commitment to both our campers and our mission in general,” said Rob Cage, Director, Quest’s Camp Thunderbird. “The generosity shown by Orange Business Services will ensure a traditional camp experience for those with special needs for years to come. The memories and experiences they take home will be invaluable.”
One of the key priorities in the Orange Business Services strategy is to be a caring and socially responsible employer. It has a long history in the care and support of people with special needs. Twenty years ago, the Orange Foundation was established to improve the quality of life for those suffering from the effects of autism. The foundation’s contributions include research funding, training care providers, and the development of educational and cultural activities.
”Orange Business Services is a multinational communications company with operations around the world, but we believe in the power of community,” said Diana Einterz, senior vice president, Americas, Orange Business Services. “With privilege comes responsibility. Our work to help the campers of Quest’s Camp Thunderbird is emblematic of our corporate ambition to facilitate human connections and exemplifes the compassionate initiatives we conduct all over the world.”
