Dallas-Based Firm Has Donated Over $285K to Organization Since 2016
DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Hilltop Securities Inc. (HilltopSecurities) and its associates raised
$75,000 for the 2019 Alliance Data Red Balloon Run and Ride (RBRR) to
benefit Children’s Health, the eighth-largest pediatric health care
provider in the nation. This year’s donation includes more than $50,000
in employee-raised funds as well as the firm’s $20,000 sponsorship.
Following HilltopSecurities’ merger and rebranding in 2016, the firm
embarked on a renewed corporate social responsibility effort with
pediatric health care as one of its focal points. Since then, the firm
has donated more than $285,000 to Passion for Children’s, the 501(c)3
non-profit organization that coordinates the RBRR on behalf of the
hospital.
“The time and effort our employees put into this campaign is
astonishing. These are busy people, but Children’s Health has touched so
many of their lives that finding the time to give back isn’t an issue,”
said Brad Winges, HilltopSecurities president and CEO. “Any donation is
a good donation, but it’s especially heartening to see a workforce so
committed to raising the bulk of our firm’s contribution for such a
great and necessary cause.”
“HilltopSecurities provides a powerful boost to the Children’s Health
mission through their generous support of the annual Alliance Data Red
Balloon Run & Ride,” said Brent Christopher, President, Children’s
Medical Center Foundation. “The creative, dedicated fundraising by their
employees inspires us. They fuel our commitment to make life better for
children!”
To raise funds for the hospital, HilltopSecurities launched a national
employee-led, executive-sponsored campaign. This year’s campaign
included various fundraisers including a branch office fundraising
competition, a floor vs. floor fundraising competition at the firm’s
Dallas headquarters, and a series of employee-led contests and sales. In
addition to the employee donations, HilltopSecurities donated $20,000 to
sponsor the RBRR Team Tent Zone. On the day of the event, dozens of
HilltopSecurities’ DFW-area employees attended as volunteers and the
company’s live buffalo mascot, Mo, was also on hand to welcome visitors.
In addition to supporting Children’s Health, HilltopSecurities’
employees also volunteer their time with other health care/youth-related
community involvement efforts including the Ronald McDonald House, the
U.S. Marine Corps Reserves’ Toys for Tots program, the Susan G. Komen
Foundation, and Dallas’ Phoenix House, a leading nonprofit drug and
alcohol treatment provider for adolescents.
The Alliance Data Red Balloon Run and Ride is an annual fundraising
event that takes place at Children’s Medical Center Plano in Texas. The
event features a 1k and 5k run/walk as well as 5k and 23-, 36-, 57-, and
72-mile bike rallies.
