BGV’s Adopt a Family Program Marks 10 Years of Spreading Holiday Cheer

Last month, BGV Gives celebrated the 10th anniversary of the BGV Adopt a Family program. BGV partnered with Summit County’s Youth and Family Services to provide gifts to families in need of extra support during the holiday season. Across the company, BGV employees stepped up to bring smiles to 107 individuals from 28 families this holiday season.  

Staff members from the Community Impact department packed up their office brimming with over 50 boxes and bags of gifts and brought them in several carloads to Summit County’s Youth and Family Services, where their staff shared their immense gratitude on behalf of the families they serve.  

Echoing the results of the University of Chicago’s study that shows that found that giving (rather than receiving) leads to long-lasting happiness, team member Carrie Scheick expressed her deep appreciation for the program. “This yearly initiative is one of my favorites. The generosity of BGV employees shines brightly within this program – everyone cares about bringing joy to local families during the holiday season and it just warms my heart! I always love being part of the team that delivers the gifts, as we transform our own office from being inundated with bags of presents to overwhelming (in a good way!) the YFS office.    

BGV Gives extends its thanks to the employees of BGV, who participated in this remarkable act of generosity and of Summit Youth and Family Services, who identified families and coordinated delivery.

BGV Employees Bring the Holiday Spirit to Local Families in Need

On December 16th, Breckenridge Grand Vacations and BGV Gives “wrapped up” its 9th Annual Adopt a Family Program. During a busy time of year that’s tight on any budget, 24 departments and individuals across Breckenridge Grand Vacations stepped up to bring extra holiday cheer to 28 local families in need.

In total, BGV employees purchased over 300 gifts for 109 local individuals, including 64 children and 45 adults. Several employees and departments teamed up to review wish lists, go shopping, and wrap the gifts.

BGV Gives partnered with Summit County Youth and Family Services, who referred local families that would benefit from the support. “Our department was amazed by the gifts that that BGV delivered. The recipient families were beyond grateful that they’d be able to celebrate the holidays with gifts and important winter gear, like new snow boots.”

Since 2014, Breckenridge Grand Vacations employees have provided holiday gifts for 238 families across the Summit County community. To learn more about BGV Gives and its initiatives, visit https://bgvgives.org/.
