The Above and Beyond Foundation offers a turnkey Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program that recognizes and rewards outstanding hospitality industry individual(s) working on-site live, during your event. From the motor coach driver that transfers the guests safely from the airport to the hotel, to the doorman who greets them, servers, housekeepers, bartenders, tour guides, AV techs and everyone behind the scenes; are all included. These are the people on the front lines of the hospitality industry that work tirelessly to make your event happen. BOOMERANG! celebrates these individuals with a life-changing grant presented during your event.
BOOMERANG! engages attendees with the impact of participating in the CSR at a live event where they can experience a personal connection and the true essence of a CSR. See video below of a CSR event at the Paradisus Palma Real in the Dominican Republic.
The process is simple, time sensitive to your event, engaging, and effective. Attendees vote on outstanding encounters with front-line workers throughout the program via the event APP or a simple manual process. The CSR runs the duration of the meeting and will culminate with an awards ceremony celebrating the winner(s) at an appropriate time during your event schedule.
