Giving Back
The week’s celebrations also included impactful initiatives that reinforced Facilisgroup’s values of community and giving back.
On January 13, Facilisgroup and its partners participated in Gabriel’s Journey, a one-mile charity walk inside the Las Vegas Convention Center to raise awareness and funds for Cure SMA. This initiative, named after the son of You Name It Specialties’ COO Jenna Martinez, raised proceeds to provide essential resources for children living with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).
“I hope our efforts inspire many to learn more about Cure SMA and the incredible impact it has had on my life and the lives of other families like mine,” says Martinez. “The support of the Facilisgroup community makes a difference, and I am deeply grateful.”
Later that day, Facilisgroup hosted the grand prize winners of SanMar’s Black Card Blitz incentive contest at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. Winners Lauren Ritt of BRANDITO, Ammon McBride of Brand Makers and Jack Wheeler of KB Graphics enjoyed a $10,000 shopping spree, complete with a black carpet welcome and champagne toast.
