BCG in the Community

Volunteering and making a difference in our community.

Adopt-a-Family

“This program is great because it helps so many people. We can all get involved. Even if you don’t meet the family that you are purchasing presents for…you feel bonded to them. It gives them hope. It’s a good arrangement for everybody.” Nancy Tipton

The Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons can be an extra difficult time for families who are struggling financially. Through  Serve Partnerships Unlimited, BCG & FPSI are given the opportunity to adopt a few families each year. Nancy Tipton, Biddle Account Executive, is our company Adopt-a-Family coordinator. In the video below, she briefly shares about the program.

Project 680 Foot Drive – Socks & Shoes for Homeless Students

October 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

In the Folsom-Cordova School District there are hundreds of homeless students. These kids greatly need new socks and shoes. That’s why we’re getting involved with the Project 680 Foot Drive. Would you like to participate, too? It’s easy.

Watch the Project 680 Video

Together we can make a difference in the lives of homeless students in our community. Not only will new socks and shoes meet a very relevant and practical need, but it will also speak volumes to students about how the community is looking out for them. Please consider getting involved.

Helping Change Lives

May 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

One of the many benefits of working for Biddle Consulting Group is the people on our team. The folks at BCG are not only experts in their field but truly are wonderful, caring individuals who seek out ways to give to the community.

This Spring Break, BCG President Dr. Dan Biddle said “yes” to an opportunity to help change lives and spend some high quality time with his 15 year old daughter. Dan and his daughter traveled with their church team of 605 people to Mexicali.

While there, the team:

  • Visited and fed the homeless living in the garbage dump
  • Passed out 500 despensas (care packages with basic necessities and food items)
  • Visited 23 churches to encourage them and run a week long program for the kids and community
  • Built 7 houses and 1 classroom
  • Donated wheelchairs and crutches to a home for the elderly

Mexicali

About the trip, Dan said,

“It was an amazing trip. I really enjoyed spending the week with 50-80 children who came to our camp each day. I was amazed at how easily 10 young Mexican kids completely humiliated our ad-hoc high school soccer team! Leaving was the toughest part… so many kids, so many new relationships, and so many touched lives (with my own on the top of the list).”

Take a moment and watch the video of  this incredible trip.

5-20-11 update: Chris only needs $140 to reach his fundraising goal! If you’d like to contribute towards that, visit Chris’ Team in Training page. Go Chris!

Chris Lindholm, our EEO Director, is always up for a challenge. He is now training with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s  Team In Training to complete a 100 mile bike ride and raise funds to battle cancer.

I’m training to participate in an endurance event as a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Team In Training. As a family member to several special people who have suffered or were lost to cancer, it was an easy decision to accept this opportunity to both challenge myself and raise funds for fighting this terrible disease. Even though I am new to cycling, I will be training for 4 months to ride in “America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride” – a 100 mile ride around Lake Tahoe – and raising over  $2,300 to fight cancer. All of us on Team In Training are raising funds to help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. I am completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers. These people are the real heroes on our team, and we need your support to cross the ultimate finish line – a cure!
