Equipment Finance Cares (EF Cares), in partnership with the American Association of Commercial Finance Brokers (AACFB), hosted a river boat charity cruise in Austin. The event brought together members of the equipment finance community for an evening of giving back, raising more than $5,000 to benefit Global Child Advocates and the San Antonio Food Bank.
Attendees heard firsthand about the impact of both organizations: Global Child Advocates’ mission to protect and empower children in vulnerable communities, and the San Antonio Food Bank’s work to support victims of the recent flooding in Texas, providing food and water while mobilizing volunteers and distributing critical supplies.
“Great things happen when our industry comes together with a common purpose,” Jesse Johnson, president of Consult Disrupt and founder of EF Cares, said. “Seeing a sold-out river boat full of colleagues, friends, and partners rally behind these important causes was both inspiring and humbling. This is what EF Cares is all about, building community while making a difference.”
Kalah Sprabeary, board president at AACFB, said, “The generosity and spirit of the equipment finance community always amazes me. We are proud to work with EF Cares to shine a light on organizations doing incredible work locally and globally, and we look forward to continuing to make giving back a core part of our gatherings.”
