Creative Office Resources’ Year of Impact
As we reflect on the past year, we want to share the inspiring stories of our employees who dedicated their time and energy to over 17 different charities scattered across the United States.
In a world where corporate responsibility plays a large role in shaping the well-being of society, our employees at Creative Office Resources continue to be a part of this meaningful change. Giving back is more than just a charitable act—it's a commitment to building a better, more compassionate world. By supporting a diverse array of charities, we acknowledge the unique needs of communities nationwide, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.
At COR, we firmly believe in the transformative power of giving back, recognizing its impact not only on individuals but on communities as a whole. Our commitment to social responsibility is woven into the foundation of Creative Office Resources. We believe that a successful business is not only measured by financial achievements but by the positive impact it has on the world. Our values extend beyond the office walls, reaching communities in need, and inspiring our employees to be part of this change.
Pan Mass Challenge
2023 marks Chris Leonard’s 20th Pan Mass Challenge, not only as a participant but a cancer survivor himself! The Pan-Mass Challenge is a fundraising bike-a-thon started in 1980 by Billy Starr to benefit the Dana–Farber Cancer Institute via the Jimmy Fund. 100% of all rider-raised funds go directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund.
Family Promise of Morris County
Working alongside Gensler NJ and CFT, our COR NJ team repurposed 22 workstations that were headed for a landfill to Family Promise of Morris County. Family Promise of Morris County’s mission is to mobilize community resources and people to end the crisis of homelessness and housing instability faced by families and individuals by providing a continuum of services leading to independence.
Northeast Arc
This past year some of our team attended the Northeast Arc’s Arc Tank. This event funds ideas that will help positively disrupt disability services to improve the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and/or autism and their families. During Arc Tank 5.0, Northeast Arc awarded $247,500 to three innovative ideas!
