Brownies… with Benefits!

Like many firms, Collabry enjoys offering end-of-the-year holiday gifts to team members—it’s a joyful way to show our gratitude for everyone’s hard work in helping us achieve our goals throughout the year.

Yet we also enjoy surprising our crew on a day they wouldn’t generally expect to receive anything from their work buddies: Valentine’s Day. For the past two Februarys, and to help break the winter blues, we’ve shown our appreciation (and affection!) to everyone on our management, consultant, and communications teams with brownies from Greyston.

Why brownies? Because … chocolate. Why Greyston Bakery brownies? Collabry’s vice president and CFO, Tom Formaro, explains: 

“First, there’s Greyston Bakery’s mission of inclusive employment. A company making a positive difference in the lives of its employees and community is exactly the kind of company Blu wants to support. Then throw in the poetry-inspiring goodies (literally—the snickerdoodle blondie prompted one of our team members to write a haiku praising it on our Slack channel), and you have the unbeatable combination of doing good while producing an excellent product. It’s what every company should aspire to.”

Purchasing from Greyston is not, by any means, the only way that Collabry seeks to give back, but it might just be the tastiest.

Are you interested in these “brownies with benefits”? Plenty of holidays and occasions throughout the year could provide a great reason to send colleagues and clients these delightful treats. Find out more about the company and ordering options on the Greyston website.

And while you’re at it, treat yourself, too. We certainly did!
