Hilco Capital Volunteers at "Spread a Smile"
This past holiday season, Hilco Capital volunteered at "Spread a Smile" to help pack toys, games, and books into gift baskets for all the brave children that will be spending the upcoming holidays from the hospital. "Spread a Smile" brings joy and laughter to seriously ill and hospitalized children and their families during long hospital stays. Every year they spread smiles to thousands of children and teenagers and their families through their hospital visits, outings and events, and art initiatives.
Hilco Global Women's Business Group Supports Rock the Street Wall Street
Hilco Global Women’s Business Group, along with Noble Street College Prep, is proud to be supporting Rock the Street Wall Street, the highly regarded financial and investment literacy program designed to spark the interest of a diverse population of high school girls in careers in finance.
By learning about savings and investment, budgeting, the capital markets, and their role in maintaining the welfare of their families and the economy, participants get to see and better understand the real-world application of the math content they learn in the classroom.
RTSWS sparks girls’ interest at a critical juncture in their lives, pre-college planning, and expands their perceptions of what a person who works in finance looks like beyond the traditional stereotypes.
RTSWS provided tailored curriculum and materials, and volunteers from across all of Hilco are doing a fantastic job by serving as classroom instructors!
This is a cause and program that we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of. It’s incredible to see just how talented these young women are!
