John: WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808."
WHEN IT COMES TO GIVING, FEW
COMPANIES DO WHAT HONOLULU
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY DO.
THEY WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT
A SPECIAL DAY.
WE BRING ON JANE JOHANNSEN AND
BOB LEITZKE.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US.
TELL ME ABOUT GIVING TUESDAY.
GIVING TUESDAY IS A GLOBAL
DAY OF GIVING.
THAT STARTED IN 2012.
IT'S GAINED A LOT OF MOVEMENT
OPT MAINLAND.
AND IT'S SLOWLY MAKING ITS WAY
OUT TO HAWAI'I.
HONOLULU HABITAT WANTS TO BE A
PART OF IT.
IT'S A DAY AFTER THANKSGIVING TO
START OFF THE CHAIR ITABLE
SEASON TO GIVE TO A CAUSE THAT
YOU BELIEVE?
JOHN WHY TUESDAY AFTER
THANKSGIVING?
IT'S KIND OF THE ANSWER TO
BLACK FRIDAY AND CYBER MONDAY.
THEY SELL MATERIAL GOODS.
THIS IS THE ANSWER TO GIVE.
John: VERY COOL.
BOB, WHY HAS BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON
JOINED IN THIS INITIATIVE?
IT'S A NICE EXTENSION OF OUR
LONG TIME PARTNER HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY.
WE SUPPORTED HABITAT FOR LAST 15
YEARS.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF
OUR CULTURE IN BOOZ ALAN.
WE HAVE ABOUT 200 EMPLOYEES.
THEY'RE INVOLVED IN LAULIMA,
VETERANS, WOUNDED WARRIORS.
VERY COMMITTED TO SUPPORT TO
STEM EDUCATION.
AND FIRST ROBOTICS AND TYING
THAT INTO OUR INTERNSHIP
PROGRAMS WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF
HAWAI'I.
IT'S ALL ABOUT GIVING BACK AND
THE CULTURE.
OUR APPROACH TO PARTNERSHIPS
LIKE THIS IS, THE FINANCIAL PART
IS ONE PIECE.
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE
PARTNERING WITH ORGANIZATIONS
AND GIVING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR
EMPLOYEES TO GIVE BACK.
AND OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH
HABITAT, IT'S A PERFECT FIT TO
COVER ALL THOSE AREAS.
WE'RE GRATEFUL TO BE A PART OF
THAT AND WORKING WITH THE GREAT
ORGANIZATION LIKE HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY.
AND AFFORD OUR EMPLOYEES TO GIVE
BACK.
John: THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU
DO.
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
BEING TRANSPARENT, WHAT ARE THE
MONIES THAT ARE RAISED GO TO
BENEFIT?
WE'RE PROUD TO SAY THAT
WHATEVER IS DONATED STAYS IN THE
COMMUNITY.
IT FEEDS BACK INTO OUR MISSION
OF PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOMES
FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED IT, WHICH IS
A BIG NUMBER.
NEXT YEAR, WE'RE INCREASING OUR
GOALS TO 40 HOMES IN FIVE YEARS.
WE'RE GRATEFUL TO HAVE
CHAMPIONSHIPS LIKE BOOZ ALLEN
AND KHON.
THE NEED IS GREAT.
SO THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY WILL
GO.
John: THIS QUESTION CAN BE
FOR BOTH OF YOU.
IT FEELS REALLY GOOD, DOESN'T
IT?
WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT.
THIS IS OUR FIRST YEAR BEING
INVOLVED, AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL
GAIN A LOT OF MOMENTUM AND BEING
BIGGER AND BIGGER.
John: IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO
FEEL GOOD, HOW CAN THEY GET
INVOLVED?
HOW CAN THEY DO THAT?
