We’re delighted to share the canned food sculpture we’ve designed and built for Met Council’s Annual Gala! Met Council, the largest Jewish charity of its kind, provides essential services from food to housing for those in need. This year’s sculpture, “The Big Apple,” made from 2,700 cans of tuna provided by the Council, will add nutritionally dense protein to 1,350 food packages for Met Council’s Holocaust survivor home delivery program. The DeSimone team is honored to be invited to create a sculpture again this year—a new tradition that began last year after members of the Council were inspired by our winning Canstruction New York, Inc. competition entry, “The City Has Gone to the Birds.” We congratulate Michelle and Adi Chugh for being recognized at the gala with a Community Leadership Award for their incredible support of Met Council’s life-changing work. #Canstruction #MetCouncil #DeSimone #CommunitySupport #AnnualGala #CharityEvent #FoodForAll #NYCEvents #DeSimoneConsultingEngineering #Architecture

Documenting this moment - today I got to touch the very first donation for the new Heritage Centre in Hyndburn. Beautiful teeny tiny children’s clogs, owned by Ethel - who was born almost 100 years ago in Accrington. These will help community stories come to life, whilst we imagine a walk through Accrington Town Square in Ethel’s shoes! #Heritage #AccringtonTownSquare

Greek Week continues to make a big impact in the local community and this hyper-local storytelling should remain a focus. I think, because we’re at a world-renowned institution, we aim a lot at showing how far-reaching our footprint goes. This story is part of that too—many of those involved will go on to do great things across the world. But, right now, we’re telling a story of students building camaraderie and connecting with where they are at this point in time and with what’s closest in proximity. That doesn’t minimize their impact by any means. So, I think this also shows how important Fraternity and Sorority Life remains to the philanthropy of the area. How FSL creates leaders and constructive citizenry. If you connect those dots, you see that this article tells multiple stories beyond the surface.
MSU Fraternity and Sorority Life concluded its annual Greek Week this past spring with excellent achievements in community service and philanthropy. Overall, Greek Week raised over $30,000 for the Greater Lansing Food Bank and the Ingham County Animal Shelter. Students organized a Crowd Change Campaign and various food fundraisers to support these vital community organizations. http://spr.ly/6047iuVtU

Last week I spent a full day with the leadership team of Presbyterian Senior Living in Dillsburg PA. as one of our activities, I’d asked each of PSL’s 30 communities to bring a decorated pickle jar to help us launch The Pickle Challenge for Charity. I said that I would use my own arbitrary and capricious criteria to select winning entries for categories that I would create. I was blown away by their creativity! These are just a few of the contest entries. They weren’t just decorated pickle jars – they were artistic creations! Not only that, many of the participants also had Pickle Free Zone t-shirts, hats, and other paraphernalia. The pickle jar decorating contest is typically the first activity in launching The Pickle Challenge for Charity. Making people more aware of their own negative attitudes, including chronic complaining, is an important step toward creating a more positive Culture of Ownership. The Pickle Challenge is fun, it’s free, and it gives people a soft-touch, lighthearted way to hold themselves and each other to higher standards of behavior at work. You can download the free DIY Implementation Guide at www.PicklePledge.com. And feel free to email or message me if you need help.

Ancient trees are a valuable natural resource and can't be replaced like-for-like. Planting new trees after felling an ancient tree is neither good nor sustainable practice. Ancient and veteran trees need our help in protecting them.
