Giving Back with Purpose 

The power of unity of the NetVU Community is making a difference.   

Thanks to the overwhelming sense of community and drive from everyone involved, we achieved a milestone that speaks volumes of the caring spirit that was in the air — we successfully assembled and donated over 2,000 hygiene kits to support New Orleans. Each kit, packed with essentials, stands as a beacon of hope and care for someone facing challenging times. 

The  collective act of kindness  not only touches lives but also transcends the boundaries of a simple gathering. The first day of Accelerate it was a testament to the impact a community like NetVU can create when coming together for a greater good. Resulting in a ripple effect of generosity that resonated far beyond the walls of the conference center.  

A True Team Effort  

The Day of Caring became a tangible representation of goodwill, bolstered by the unmatched support from our gracious sponsor, The Cincinnati Insurance Company. Their continued commitment provides this opportunity to help the communities we are part of during Accelerate. 

 

Joe Clabaugh, Service Manager at The Cincinnati Insurance Company, wants to thank everyone who helped to make this year's Day of Caring a success.  

“It is a privilege to sponsor this event. Whether you were able to give through the Amazon wish list, purchased a t-shirt in the NetVU neighborhood or were able to volunteer your time during the event, your participation was invaluable in helping the New Orleans Mission.” 

In a heartfelt display of giving back, our attendees also raised an additional $1,000 through t-shirt sales. Every penny collected from this effort contributed to a singular, impactful cause — supporting the New Orleans Mission.   

The Day of Caring initiative at the Accelerate Conference showed us all the power of unity in making a difference. We were reminded that service to others is not just a call but a privilege that we have the opportunity to answer — together. Our sincerest thank you goes out to all the participants that made this day memorable and changed lives for the better, and to The Cincinnati Insurance Company for underpinning this vital cause.  

 Share your experience and how Day of Caring touched you.  Also, we’d love your input on organizations to work with in the future in Charlotte, NC and Las Vegas, NV.
