Benhar employees helped spread holiday cheer this December by participating in the Herman-Miller/Geiger sponsored We Care event. 125 underprivileged children from the Boys & Girls Club of Harlem, NY filled tables hosted by area design and architecture firms. The goal of this event was to provide the children with the opportunity to make creative, heartfelt gifts for their friends and families during the holiday season.
"The best part about the We Care event was not only the fulfillment of giving something back to the kids, and also seeing the excitement of the children not to get something themselves, but to make something for someone else," said Benhar employee Fran Mazzaglia.
Benhar’s craft was such a hit this year, to the delight of the children. Benhar hosted a craft station centered on the idea of creating festive tote bags, where the children can customize their bags using fabric markers.
“It is always a delight to see the smile on a child’s face, after they’ve made something that is unique”. “I think that cultivating a child’s creativity, bolsters their self esteem”, says Benhar employee Carla Parker.
