For nine years, non-profit and business partnership known as “We Care” has united over 150 of America’s leading interior design and architectural firms to host holiday gatherings and a fun filled day of arts & crafts for children in need. Local chapters of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America provide the event in over 16 North American cities.
Hendrick Designers and Architects donate countless hours of their time preparing arts & crafts for the event to help children achieve their artistic vision creating gifts for their families and friends. Craft projects include decorative flower pots, gingerbread houses, scarves, holiday ornaments, picture frames and having a photo taken with Santa Claus.
“This event has been very rewarding to the staff at Hendrick. It has provided us the opportunity to collaborate with the design community to provide a special event for those less fortunate. Each of the children reminds us how important it is to share the spirit of giving. We look forward to finding new and creative ideas to bring to the children each year. “
Non-Profit Affiliations
Hendrick is currently responsible for design of 50% of the non-profit affiliations currently located in the city of Atlanta. These affiliations include Boys and Girls Club of America that opened its offices in 2005 at 1275 Peachtree in Midtown, and the American Cancer Society that will move its national headquarters to the Inforum building in downtown
Atlanta in mid-2007.
Key Downtown Revitalization Efforts
Hendrick is currently working on the design of two national headquarter companies that will help revive the central business district.
The two headquarters include Cousins Properties Inc. that will relocate to One Ninety One Peachtree as Cousins’ first venture to the city center, and the American Cancer Society that will move to Inforum to accommodate approximately 650 employees. Both organizations will occupy their space by mid-2007.
