As the season of giving approaches, HIKE2 leads with an impactful initiative, notably our Birthday Donation program. This isn’t just about celebrating another trip around the sun; it’s about creating a movement for social good that extends far beyond individual birthdays.
At the heart of this initiative lies a simple yet powerful concept: every HIKE2 employee gets the opportunity to pay it forward on their special day. For each birthday, HIKE2 donates $25 to a charity of the employee’s choice, transforming personal celebrations into impact!
Employees are encouraged to select an organization that resonates with and aligns with their passions and values. The chosen charity is then announced to everyone at HIKE2, which not only amplifies the impact of donations, but also fosters a culture of empathy, diversity, and awareness of a wide range of charities with different causes within HIKE2.
From supporting local charities such as the Pittsburgh Food Bank to aiding Childhood Education International’s global endeavors, and contributing to the cause of mental health awareness through the Asian Mental Health Collective, HIKE2’s impact spans continents and causes.
So far, we have donated $975 to a wide variety of charities. However, it’s not merely about the monetary value – it’s about the stories and connections behind each chosen charity and the act of giving back.
In a world where impact speaks volumes, HIKE2’s Birthday Donation program rings loudly—a testament to our commitment to empowering change, one simple birthday wish at a time.
