Philanthropy & Charity
Both personally and as the CEO of Brander Group, I actively collaborate with organizations dedicated to charitable giving and volunteering. Here are some recent ones I have supported.
Scottsdale Saguaros
Brander Group was invited to a charitable event hosted by the Scottsdale Saguaros Charity based in Arizona. They held an annual fundraiser at the W Scottsdale to help raise money for the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Jake Brander bid on 2 pieces of art that were painted live at the event by Randall Hedden, the fastest painter in the world.
Jake’s winning bids and contributions helped them hit their goal of raising over $1 Million!
Phoenix Suit Project
The Phoenix Suit Project is a charity we genuinely love participating in yearly.
They donate suits, assist people in the interview process and connect them with potential employers.
We donated dozens of suits and added encouraging messages into the pockets to help inspire people during their journey.
Jake Brander and the team at Brander group have been participating in charitable organizations for years to give back and help change people’s lives.
Feed My Starving Children in Arizona
Our team helps pre-package meals for families in Uganda with a great organization called Feed My Starving Children in Arizona.
In the span of one evening, our group of volunteers was able to package hundreds of boxes with over 23,000 meals to help feed families in need.
Make a Wish of Arizona
The leadership team at Brander Group has sponsored 2 children as part of the Make a Wish program. Through the process, we met virtually with Make-a-Wish kids and families to help determine their wishes. We worked alongside staff and families during the wish process, by planning a trip to Orlando Disneyworld and curating gift ideas.
Box of Balloons
This non-profit aims to ensure that each child feels special and celebrated on their birthday. The team at Brander Group curated boxes of gifts for underprivileged children across the country.
Dress for Success Phoenix
This experience allowed us to build rapport with women looking to enter the workforce and helped nurture self-esteem and confidence for their interview processes.
We assisted them in choosing professional work attire appropriate for job interviews and compatible with cultural and individual style preferences.
Our team also assisted in applying professional makeup and teaching them how to do their own makeup for everyday work.
