BOMA-Atlanta’s Community Service Committee provides members with opportunities for activity-based networking while serving organizations in need. The committee’s main focus is conducting service projects for Hillside. Founded in 1888, Hillside is Atlanta's oldest organized charity. A private, not-for profit agency, Hillside provides quality, cost-effective treatment and education to severely emotionally disturbed children, adolescents and their families. Programs include intensive residential psychiatric treatment, therapeutic foster care and community-based family preservation services. Hillside's programs emphasize a supportive structured environment, individualized treatment plans and caring, functional families. BOMA-Atlanta also strives to conduct one construction-related project each year with another organization, leveraging the unique talents and skills of the membership to serve the community.
Since the BOMA-Atlanta Community Service Committee has adopted Hillside, the school has received more than $58,000 in cash, goods and services. Want to learn more about volunteering with this active, enthusiastic committee? If so, call the BOMA-Atlanta office at 404-475-9980.
Mountain Outing
Each year, BOMA-Atlanta organizes a mountain outing trip for Hillside kids. Committee members engage with the children in outdoor activities and teambuilding exercises. This year’s Mountain Outing event will be in May.
Lobby Events
Property and facility management companies have an opportunity to organize lobby events for tenants in their buildings and to designate a certain percentage of the revenue to benefit Hillside. The events provide much-needed revenue for Hillside while enabling member-buildings to serve the community.
Discount Ticket Program
The BOMA-Atlanta Discount Ticket Program raises money for Hillside (www.hside.org) by making discount tickets available to see area sports teams. Anyone using the discount code “BOMA” saves up to 50 percent when buying tickets. At the same time a $5-10 donation is made to Hillside for every ticket purchased.
This program currently covers the Atlanta Braves, Falcons, Hawks, and Thrashers. Plans are underway to add Georgia State Football, the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream, and the Atlanta Blackhawks and Beat men’s and women’s professional soccer teams. In addition to the discount, you also avoid processing fees of up to 12 percent when buying tickets to the Falcons, Hawks, and Thrashers.
Anyone using the “BOMA” discount code can take advantage of this program making it a great way to help build relationships with tenants, employees, vendors, and colleagues. Plus, since every ticket purchased helps the Hillside kids, why stop there? Feel free to make this offer available to all your family, friends, and other personal contacts.
Please follow this link to a flyer with all the information you need to order tickets.
