Run for Courage

Run for Courage
Criselda CooperCriselda Cooper, a Biddle consultant, is running to make a difference. This Saturday, September 29th, Criselda will be participating in the 3rd Annual Run for Courage in Folsom, California.

Run for Courage exists to raise awareness about sex trafficking in the United States. The rate of this horrendous crime is rapidly increasing in the U.S. where the average victim’s age is 13 years old! Last year, Run for Courage raised over $100, 000 to help these young people.

“I am involved with Run For Courage because I want to help make a difference in these survivor’s lives, most of whom have no voice in society. They desperately need us. Please help me by supporting this wonderful mission!”
Criselda Cooper 

If you’d like to know about Run for Courage or how you can participate, please visit Criselda’s Run for Courage page.

Adopt-a-Family

December 20, 2011 By

“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

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

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.
