At VVA, our dedication to philanthropy is a core part of who we are.
Since our inception, we have consistently prioritized community involvement and support. We believe in making a difference not only through our professional services but also by giving back to the communities where we live and work. Our team proudly holds board positions and makes annual contributions to a variety of nonprofit organizations and philanthropic efforts, ensuring that our impact extends beyond business boundaries.
Annual VVA – Help USA Toy Drive
The Annual VVA – Help USA Toy Drive was first held in 2006 and now honors the memory of Ray Arnold, a VVA Co-Founder. This event has blossomed into a pivotal industry gathering, annually attracting over 900 guests and setting new fundraising records. Each year, we raise significant funds for HELP USA’s shelters and youth programs, alongside a thriving toy collection drive. These efforts provide much-needed joy and support to children experiencing homelessness, who find solace and safety within the shelters. This event stands as a testament to our commitment to community support and the spirit of giving during the holiday season.
Team VVAST at the Pan-Mass Challenge
Led by VVA Managing Director, Chris Petryshin, our PMC Team VVAST—comprising members from VVA and Studio Troika—participates in the annual Pan-Mass Challenge with great enthusiasm. This rigorous event is not only a test of endurance but also a profound opportunity to contribute to cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. We take pride in knowing that 100% of every rider-raised dollar is directly funneled to Dana-Farber, supporting their groundbreaking work in cancer research and patient care. Our annual involvement in the PMC underscores our deep-rooted commitment to meaningful causes and the health of our community.
