Give a Little Bit

Hello fellow FanBoxers!

Do you ever feel like your life is difficult and all your problems are too overwhelming to deal with? We all sometimes feel this way; like everything is crashing down and it can’t get any worse. In this day and age, it is easy to get caught in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and we can forget how great we really have it. It is important that everyone takes the time to help make things better for those less fortunate.

At FanBox we want to be an active part of the San Diego community, and what better way to do that than giving back?! On Saturday many of the FanBox employees will be participating in a 5k charity race to support autism research and autistic children around our community. This will be one of the charity events we are involved in as a company, and we hope to be part of many more in the near future. I strongly urge you to do something to give back this weekend. Whether you donate, volunteer, or just lend a helping hand to someone in need, every little bit counts. If you do something to give back this weekend, share it with us by writing about it in your personal blog. The smallest effort you make can mean the world to someone!

Represent Your Team!

Here at FanBox, all the employees are divided into four teams; the Orange team, the Yellow team, the Green team, and the Blue team. Every few months we hold the FanBox Olympics in which the four teams compete for bragging rights, “front of the line” privileges at lunch, and usually a secret prize. All the events vary; from four-way tug of war, to sand castle building, to relay races.

We are all super competitive, so we give it our all when it comes to representing our team. I am very proud to be a part of the mighty Blue team. We don’t always win, but we definitely hold our own against the competition. We seriously dominated last week in a heated game of 1990’s Trivial Pursuit. Over the past year, the Green team has experienced many victories… But I definitely see them falling from power in the very near future (bwa-ha-ha-ha). The Yellow team might prove to be the sleeping giant; they are kind of the underdog and I think everyone would be happy to see Yellow step it up and win the next Olympics. The Orange team definitely has the most team spirit; they always wear their Orange shirts on Mondays and they even dressed up as Oompa Loompa's for Halloween (orange faces and all, check out the picture below)!

The next Olympics is in a few weeks, so I will definitely keep you posted on who wins, who loses, and who goes home crying (Green). Bring it on!!
