Q1 of 2016 saw the company off to a tremendous start and featured notable events like the annual Rewards Trip to Cancun and a fundraiser in support of the American Heart Association where Outsource helped raise over $3,000.00.
Also, the Los Angeles office got together and pulled off an electro-cool bowling night down at the funky, retro lanes of Bowlero in Mar Vista. Competition was fierce and pins were flying as teams like āWe Donāt Give a Splitā, āLivinā on a Spareā, āI Canāt Believe Itās Not Gutterā, and ā10 Pin Mafiaā battled it out, with We Donāt Give A Split emerging victorious. The evening seemed to be right up everyoneās alley and was framed nicely with good food, drinks, and plenty of fun to spareā¦because thatās how we roll at Outsource.
February was an especially busy month for the company as it kicked off with the annual Rewards Trip to Cancun. Often referred to as Outsourceās āfamily reunion,ā the trip offers top performers from offices around the country to reconnect with old friends, build new relationships within the company, and celebrate the past yearās successes. Itās also an excellent great chance for new team members who qualify to meet mentors, corporate leaders, and learn what the company and its culture are all about.
Company leaders use the relaxed setting to strategize, exchange ideas, and plan for the year ahead. Given Outsourceās reputation for exemplifying the āwork hard/play hardā ethos, it was an especially successful trip for Outsource CEO John Lowell, who noted, āTo take over 100 people on a long weekend event to a place like Cancun and walk away with absolutely no interactions with any state or federal Mexican police officers was a real high-water moment for the organization.ā
On a healthier note, February was also National Heart Month, and in support of the organization, Johnās sons Jake and Luke Lowell participated in the national Jump Rope For Heart fundraising event, sponsored by the American Heart Association and the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE). This national event engages elementary and middle school students with jumping rope while empowering them to improve their own health and help other kids with heart-health issues.
The Outsource team pitched in to support Jake and Luke, with the company matching dollar for dollar each employee donation made on the boysā behalf. Lowell said, āI was incredibly impressed with how many people at Outsource contributed to both of my son’s Heart Foundation campaigns.ā
With the help of Outsource and the team members who supported the event, both boys reached and exceeded their donation goals for the American Heart Association. In fact, thanks to those who contributed, and for the boysā skills with a jump rope, Jake and Luke raised the most money out of all the students in their school, with Luke raising $1,520.00 and Jake raising $1,634.00, for a combined total of $3,154.00.
Lowell added, āI can’t tell you how surprised I was at their Monday morning assembly when Jake won the 1st Place award for raising the most money in the whole school and Luke had come in second. ā
Those who donated $10 or more were entered into a drawing for a $150 Visa gift card, which was won by Sam Goodspeed in Dallas. Congratulations Luke and Jake and a special thank you to everyone who contributed!
