Spread The Cheer 2023

Spread the Cheer is the annual Community Matters giving campaign that makes a return every Christmas season. During this time, we host a handful of events each week leading up to Christmas to add a little holiday spirit to our office for our staff and make fundraising fun. Annual bake sales, polaroid pictures with Santa, and family skating are to be expected, and many more!

All 100% of funds raised from this campaign will go toward our partner Pacific Community Resources Society. PCRS supports youth to overcome barriers, create positive connections, and become leaders in our community. This year our contributions will create a lifetime memory for these youth – a mountain ski experience for the students and their teachers, and the lasting gift of warm, winter clothes. Every child deserves to know they are special. We will also provide food for the holidays for families who are facing hunger.

Community Matters is an employee-led philanthropic initiative that was founded by The Radius Group in 2018 as a way to give back to the communities we impact across our brand portfolio. Ever since then, Community Matters has been working in close collaboration with community partners to support youths who are facing poverty, mental health, and addiction. To become part of the long-term solution, we help youths build the lives they want to live, through event planning, financial sponsorships, and volunteering hours.

Every year, our Community Matters team is responsible for determining the recipients of the company's charitable efforts. This year, we've chosen to partner with Pacific Community Resource Society (PCRS) to work together and help youth overcome adversity by providing a breadth of quality resources in youth education, employment, housing, substance abuse, mental health, and family services. With this, we hope to create a safe space for youth to come together, acquire new skill sets, navigate through challenges, and foster a sense of belonging.
