This week is National Volunteer Week, and we are celebrating the incredible employee volunteers that drive Hasbro’s philanthropy. While the last year has presented challenges to in-person volunteering, Team Hasbro volunteers have continued to make a difference through innovative and impactful projects, virtually and at-home. Recently, our Philanthropy team hosted the first ever Hasbro Game Changers Initiative, giving voice to employee passion and purpose.
Employees from around the world nominated and presented on behalf of charitable organizations to receive funding from Hasbro. More than 60 organizations were nominated and five finalist organizations, selected by a committee of colleagues, presented their charitable organizations in a live virtual event, where participants cast real-time votes to determine the funding level for each charity.
During this event, employees globally shared their commitment to organizations like Operation Smile Colombia, providing life-changing cleft palate surgery to children. We learned about Well-Constructed, an organization that enables community development by providing clean drinking water. And another group of employees presented on Lambert House, a community center for LGBTQIA+ youth in the greater Seattle area. These are just a few of the charities championed by our employees, and they were eager to share their excitement:
“This was a great initiative and I’m excited to see it again next year. It increased our connection with our purpose and our company DNA: helping our communities!” – Andrés, Hasbro Employee
“It was amazing to listen to our colleagues make a pitch for an organization they were passionate about. I liked how it was an employee-based initiative and we had a voice in the decisions.” – Stefan, Hasbro Employee
“I feel so inspired after being part of the Game Changers Selection Committee. I’m looking forward to being involved again next year!” - MacKenzie, Hasbro Employee
The Hasbro Game Changers program empowered employees to directly impact philanthropic programming. It helped colleagues better understand one another and our passions outside the office and underscores that every employee at every level can make a positive impact.
Hasbro is grateful to all the employees and nonprofits who made this initiative possible!
