One Good Turn Deserves Another

There’s something about the holiday season that encourages people to help those in need, often in surprising and unexpected ways.

Kim Bingham, SVP of Human Resources and Organizational Development at SquareTwo Financial, experienced one of these opportune moments. Right before the holidays, Kim caught a news story that sparked a random act of kindness.

Kim saw a heart-warming segment about the elders at the Highline Long-Term Care facility. Throughout 2009, they held bake sales to generate money for a new television. The facility’s current one was in desperate need of replacement and difficult to view for many of the patients.

But in a last-minute change of heart, the elders decided to use their hard-earned money to buy and donate toys to the Toys for Tots program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.

An idea sprang into Kim’s mind as she watched the news story unfold. She wanted to reward the elders’ act of kindness with another one, from SquareTwo Financial.

The next day, Kim spoke to Founder and Chairman Scott Lowery about her idea to buy the elders a new television. It wasn’t a hard decision for Scott. A new 50” plasma TV was delivered to Highline on Christmas morning. The elders were delighted by the random act of kindness performed by the SquareTwo staff.

On January 12, a group of elders visited the SquareTwo office to share their gratitude. They brought home-baked cookies and a handmade card signed by all the seniors at the home, titled “Thank You Very Much.”

Scott took them on a tour of the SquareTwo office and shared information about the business. The elders thoroughly enjoyed the visit…and their new TV!

SquareTwo Financial Continues the Holiday Tradition of Supporting The Arc of Aurora

For the past five years, SquareTwo Financial employees have donated gifts to the families of The Arc of Aurora as part of its Holiday Project. This year is no different. The company is proud to sponsor five families this holiday season.

Relying solely on the generous donations of individuals and companies, The Arc of Aurora Holiday Project helps literally hundreds of children and adults with developmental disabilities to celebrate spectacular holidays with their families

In the weeks leading up to the holiday season, SquareTwo proudly displays a garland wreath with gift tags at its offices. Each gift tag identifies a specific gift item needed by a family. Employees can take one or more tags, and purchase the gift for a sponsored family. Cash donations are also collected as part of the program.

Each year the gift pile grows larger as employees catch the holiday spirit of giving. It’s a proud day when The Arc of Aurora picks up the bounty of wrapped gifts, ready to bring holiday cheer to the sponsored families.

Over the years, SquareTwo has donated thousands of dollars in gifts and cash to The Arc of Aurora.
