We believe in the power of giving back to the community that shapes us. Through our initiative ‘B2 Gives Back,’ we dedicate our time, money, and resources every other month to make a positive impact on local organizations.
B2 GIVES BACK
It’s not just about doing good; it’s about actively contributing to the betterment of our community and creating lasting, meaningful change. Below is a little tour of our hearts, showing projects and organizations that truly matter to us.
We partnered with an Illinois school to make reading exciting for kids through the use of a beautifully colored book vending machine. Our mission aligns with the school’s desire to promote literacy in an innovative way. By integrating with the PBIS Rewards program and offering Inchy tokens as rewards, we engage students to select their own books. Additionally, some schools will implement more equity-based approaches for children who may not be able to purchase books at the Scholastic Book Fair.
How B2G Helped:
At B2, supporting education has always been at the forefront of our philanthropic initiatives. Every August for the past five years, our founder and CEO, Ben, picks a handful of educators and schools to support. The criteria are simple. The recipient must be an educator, the donation must be a legacy item, as in something that can be used for years to come, and it also has to benefit a large number of students.
We chose to spread kindness by providing New Baden Elementary School with its own branded book vending machine! This was the brainchild by a retired and current Title 1 teacher at NBE who developed an incentive program for their students to win free books. They believed that an investment in education is essential to our students and educators and that books are powerful tools that promote literacy, cultural awareness, cognitive development, and creativity. We couldn’t agree more!

We met early morning on a Saturday to clean up the Sloan Trail. During our morning cleanup, we saw wildlife and found fun treasures like antique cans dating back to the 30s and 40s.

Room Decoration Program:
Based on the child’s likes and special needs, we customize a plan to decorate their hospital room with items they can take home with them as they continue their recovery. For many of these kids, their fight is far from over, so we work with Once Upon a Room to create a very personal home-like environment from what was once a cold and stark space. Everything the patient receives from Once Upon a Room is theirs to keep will go home with them.
How B2G Helped:
We teamed up with Once upon a room at Sunrise Children’s Hospital to convert a hospital room into a Cruella-themed oasis for a young girl facing an extended stay. It was a humbling experience to see how much joy one simple act of kindness brought her.

The B2 team rolled up our sleeves and got to work stamping bags and carefully packing them with essential food items. Knowing that these bags would soon find their way into the hands of seniors and families facing difficult circumstances filled us with a sense of purpose and determination. As we worked side by side, we were reminded of the importance of compassion, and the profound impact that even a small act of kindness can have on someone's life.

Our team eagerly headed to the Clean the World Foundation, hosted by Las Vegas Sands to assemble hygiene kits for those who are less fortunate. As we worked diligently, assembling each kit with care, we knew that our efforts were directly impacting the lives of individuals in need. Our time spent at the foundation was not only about building hygiene kits; it was about building connections, spreading kindness, and making a positive impact in our community.

Sustainability:
Sustainability is about meeting current needs without compromising the needs of future generations. It involves balancing economic growth, environmental care and social well-being. It’s not just a trend—it’s a necessary reality.
We all need to consume less, think more, and prioritize the well-being of our planet. We’re committed to making a difference. Here’s how we’re investing in efficiencies, big and small, to create a positive impact:
As a company, we partner with Ecologi to help offset our carbon footprint. With this partnership we plant trees after each event we produce to help offset our traveling and trucking emissions.
We offset 5.00 tons of CO2 by directly supporting climate projects all over the world.
Our latest technology investments use 30% less power consumption than older inventory we’ve phased out.
Elimination of lamp-based projection and lighting for LED and laser light sources that don’t need replacement.
Extensive investment in fiber optics which is significantly more eco-friendly solution than copper cables. With this investment we can replace 26 different copper cables with one fiber optic.
