Roadrunner Food Drive Success!

For the past three years, The Design Group has held a holiday food drive for one of our favorite charities, the Roadrunner Food Bank.

As you may or may not know, New Mexico has the highest rate of childhood hunger in the nation and is #2 for Food Insecurity.  The reality of this problem was brought to light in the Albuquerque Journal last October:

We’re proud to say that our efforts in December raised 215 pounds of food donations, which beat our previous record by over 80 pounds! Way to go DG-ers!

DG Community Commitment Program

As a commitment to our local communities, and in recognition of our employees who generously donate their time to their favorite causes, we are proud to introduce the DG Community Commitment Program. For every hour of volunteer work, The Design Group will match employee efforts with a $10 donation to their chosen organization.

We're looking forward to making a real difference in 2014!

Reigning Champs

The Design Group competed in our favorite event of the year - the Urban Olympics for the Amy Biehl High School Foundation. At the 4th Annual competition, our Design Groupies defended their title for the Best Costume, and also won 1st place in the Human Scream event!

Congratulations to all of our team members who participated, and thanks to the Urban Olympics crew for putting on another great event.

Fashionable Olympians

The Design Group took home the trophy for Best Costume at the 3rd Annual Urban Olympics! The event raised over $25,000 for the Amy Biehl High School Foundation, in support of student programs at the school. Teams of five competed at Albuquerque Civic Plaza on May 4th in fun events such as water cooler relays, office chair races, and giant Jenga.

We're proud to sponsor this event for a project that is close to our hearts.
