In Colorado Springs, Basis Partners, renowned for its transportation engineering expertise, has proven to be a vital ally in supporting its community! Their recent involvement with the Packz4Kidz backpack stuffing event not only highlighted their commitment to community service but also strengthened the camaraderie among their team members.
Reflecting on the partnership, Ben Hahn, Basis Partners’ Construction Manager, shared his enthusiasm: “Partnering with Kenzi’s Causes was a perfect fit for us. We are always looking for ways to give back to the Colorado Springs community. Packz4Kidz provided us with that opportunity and created a great team event for our staff to enjoy together.” This initiative was more than just a charitable act; it fostered a genuine team-building experience that resonated deeply with their staff.
The collaboration was initiated by Ronnie Causey, a dedicated board member at Kenzi’s Causes, who reached out to explore potential collaborative opportunities. Ben’s response was immediate and heartfelt: “We were thrilled to get involved.” This engagement quickly transformed from a modest brainstorm among colleagues into a major community event. Hosted at their office, 20 Basis Partners team members in a concerted effort to assemble and distribute essential school supplies to 144 children, transforming a simple idea into a significant impact within the community.
Ben underscored the importance of being open to new opportunities: “Be open to new opportunities. The Basis Partners Packz4Kidz event started with an email between 3 colleagues and grew to an event that included 20 Basis Partners members providing backpacks to 144 children.” This mindset not only brought about a successful event but also strengthened the internal bonds among the Basis Partners team, enhancing their collective spirit.
Ben also reflected on the broader impact of Kenzi’s Causes, stating, “Hearing all that Kenzi’s Causes does throughout the state of Colorado was inspirational. Many lives are touched each year by this great organization.” It’s clear that for Basis Partners, the relationship with Kenzi’s Causes is not just a one-off engagement but the beginning of a durable partnership. Looking to the future, Ben emphasized, “We hope to continue our partnership with Kenzi’s Causes for many years to come,” expressing a commitment to ongoing community involvement.
