On July 26th, approximately 50 staff members
from international branding firm Siegel+Gale joined Odyssey House to paint
a mural and the playrooms at the Manor Family Center. The images and mural
painted by Siegel+Gale bring a touch of whimsy to the playrooms and create a
relaxing space for the facility’s residents.
Siegel+Gale co-CEO David Srere said the idea for the day
of service is rooted in the heritage of the company: doing well by doing good.
He said, “This kind of day, when you’re using your skills, passions and talents
to contribute to something that is really important and larger than any one of
us, is a critical, fundamental underpinning of what Siegel+Gale is all about.”
When considering how they could contribute to Odyssey
House, Howard Belk, co-CEO of Siegel+Gale, said that art seemed like a natural
fit. “One of the tools that Odyssey House uses to help their clients overcome
their challenges is art,” said Mr. Belk. “So we went to art because we’d seen
the power of it already. And we’ve created these fun and light-hearted murals
to lift the spirits of the residents here.”
Odyssey House President Dr. Peter Provet discussed the
significance of the day of service by recognizing the value of partnerships. “This
kind of corporate connection validates the work we do,” Dr. Provet said. “It
gives our staff and clients a belief that they are not alone, that others care
for the struggle they’ve gone through and the commitment they’re making by
being at Odyssey House, and so we thank Siegel+Gale enormously for being there
for our clients, their families, and for our entire organization.”
