A select group of top performers from Harbourfront Wealth Management recently gathered for a unique musical team-building event with a profound purpose.
We’re thrilled to share these Harbourfront Heroes and the event that brought together creativity, teamwork, and generosity to deliver special gifts for the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Louisiana.
Culture of Collaboration
The atmosphere was electric as five groups of wealth management professionals embarked on a fun-filled journey none had attempted before: to build guitars.
Each group had to complete activities to earn the parts needed to assemble their instruments. The challenge was not just about technical skills but also about fostering camaraderie and teamwork while following a detailed set of instructions.
In just one hour, the groups built five electric guitars!
The Guitar-Building Process
The process was both challenging and rewarding for individuals better known for their financial expertise than musical abilities. From trivia to charades-style antics, these team-building activities set the tone for a competitive, friendly environment. Each correct answer and completed activity earned the groups different parts of the guitar. Once all the parts were acquired, the groups swiftly moved to assemble the guitars, transforming individual components into beautiful, functional instruments.
The Impact
The highlight of the event came when a group of teens from the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Louisiana arrived to receive their new guitars. New Orleans, a city renowned for its rich musical heritage, was the perfect backdrop for this initiative.
The teens were thrilled to try out the instruments and portable amps. They strapped on the electric guitars and even strummed a few chords.
In addition to the Build-a-Guitar event, the initiative raised over $10,000, including the value of the guitars and a cash donation. This initiative not only brought musical instruments for the children of the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Louisiana but also highlighted the importance of giving back and supporting such an incredible community.
Conclusion
The Build-a-Guitar event was a resounding success, blending teamwork, creativity, and philanthropy. The wealth management professionals who participated demonstrated that giving back can be both impactful and enjoyable.
We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participants for their dedication and generosity. Seriously, you rock!!
