Dallas DMC, Ultimate Ventures, Wins Big for Giving Back
Winter Wonderland Giveback, Benefitting the Boys & Girls Club of Dallas, Earns an ADMEI Award
ADDISON, Texas, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dallas events and destination management company (DMC), Ultimate Ventures® took home the Association of Destination Management Executives International (ADMEI) 2019 Achievement Award for Best Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on February 9th in Houston, Texas. The ADMEI Achievement Awards Gala celebrates outstanding achievement within the destination management industry in the categories of excellence, achievement, and recognition.
The winning CSR program, "Winter Wonderland" was custom designed for a pharmaceutical conference of 1,400 guests meeting at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas. They contacted Dallas-Fort Worth DMC, Ultimate Ventures, to create an event that not only would captivate and inspire their group but would also give back to the children of Dallas in a meaningful way.
Since the program took place in early December, Ultimate Ventures' creative team took their inspiration from the holiday season and designed a multi-faceted program. Throwing their hearts into two events over two days, guests blessed and dressed 400 stuffed animals, wrapped 400 gifts, distributed 200 books, and delivered genuine Christmas spirit to 400 children from the Dallas chapter of the Boys and Girls Club.
On night one, the group was introduced to the charity as 1,400 elves wrapped 400 gifts and built and dressed 400 teddy bears with holiday music and spirit in the air.
On night two, as a surprise, 125 children joined the final celebration event at the hotel as the client's guests. On this night, Ultimate Ventures created opportunities for children and guests to interact with one another through activities such as cookie decorating stations and reading stations. Not only was the event visually stunning, it was filled with music, games, food, love and laughter.
Ultimate Ventures' General Manager, Beverly Brin, DMCP, accepted the award on the company's behalf and commented, "I'm so proud of our team, not only for this spectacular achievement, but for the way they poured their hearts and souls into this program. Giving back is ingrained in our company culture, so it was a gift to be able to pair our generous client with this deserving charity and make so many children's holiday wishes come true!"
