SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Do you ever have weeks that just continuously go wrong for you? Where it just seems like it is one thing after another. This happens to Chris Kay, CEO of Blue Global Media, and he is sure the rest of the world often. But then something will finally go right, or one good thing will happen and it just turns the day around. The one act of kindness makes up for all the bad days. This is one reason why Kay started to give back. If he could make someone's day or influence someone's life, then that alone would make his life fuller.
There are many benefits to giving back to the community. For one, just to feel good. Nothing feels better then to help someone. Giving back helps boost your own self-esteem, and can improve your overall mood. Another great benefit is making social connections. It is hard to move to a new place, retire or make new friends. Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and fill empty hours in the day.
Chris Kay, CEO of Blue Global Media is inspired to give back to his local communities in Arizona, and all across the world. "Giving back has always been apart of my life. I haven't always been successful, so I know what it is like to be in need of something. I want to help be that person for others."
Chris has been with Plan USA for several years, a charity that supports children all across the country. He sponsors over 500 children, and has recently involved his employees at Blue Global to participate. The children he sponsors have written hundreds of letters to Chris and the team, each employee was assigned a child and had a chance to write back. The employees were thrilled to be able to be involved.
Chris has also donated to local charities such as, Arizona Animal Rescue, Packages from home, United Way, Jump Start, and donates Carbon Offsets each month. He says that he and the team plan on doing much more for the communities, especially around the holidays.
The benefits to giving back are infinite. It doesn't have to just be donating, but volunteering your time, or even writing a letter could make a big difference in someone's life. A great website for volunteer opportunities is: https://www.volunteermatch.org. There are hundreds of local or worldwide opportunities to give back. Your chance is just a Google search away.
