BUILDING COMMUNITY
6 times a year we host a For the Culture Charity Night. We are proud to have been able to impact hundreds of men through our homeless feeding efforts, and hundreds of children too, with our Bless a Birthday, in the USA! We've revamped our efforts to include a social aspect as well. These events will take place during non-peak seasons. We are SO excited!
*Covid-19 update: Every time of year is now a "non-peak" season so we will continue our efforts through the summer

Past Community Partnerships
Last September, with the help of a great friend and previous support of For the Culture Global, we sponsored the special area and arts teachers at Charlotte East Language Academy. A wish list was provided where anyone could participate, order and send directly to those teachers benefiting from the donations. You may not be aware, but as a teacher, a lot comes out of pocket, but as a special area teacher, even if there is a classroom budget, perhaps from a grant or booster club, they're often not included. All of the special area/arts teachers had a chance to submit items that would make a true difference this year in their classroom. We, along with Connect2Life Photography supported the Media Center, elementary and middle school Physical Education, Band, Orchestra, Dance Art and Music teachers! A total of $2,000+. THANK YOU!

For the Culture hosted an Adult Game Night at Boundary Bar & Grille in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda. In speaking with a board member, who educated us about the organization and it's additional needs, we dedicated this event to collecting grocery vouchers. BBBS, often has corporate sponsors, as many organizations do, however, have found themselves at a loss when families don't have the means to purchase food. That said, we tailored this event to that. For the Culture and Big Brothers Big Sisters had an awesome night and raised over $500 in Grocery Store Gift Vouchers!

We hosted our Adult Game Night at Boundary Bar & Grille in support of Bermuda Sickle Cell Association. Another amazing night of fun, food and games. We got to meet with the President and Vice President, both living with sickle cell disease. People with Sickle Cell face many challenges, like severe pain, episodes, stroke and organ damage. They provided us with a hospital wish list and For the Culture collected enough items from their wish list, to enable Bermuda Sickle Cell Association to put together 6 packages for members in the hospital.

For the Culture has hosted a homeless feeding program since 2014. During that time we have done countless events with the Men's Shelter of Charlotte. Collectively, we have served over 1000 meals to the homeless community living in and around the shelter and community. The team made and packaged all the meals, bagged them up and took to the shelter and streets to converse and care for the men.
