CMG Celebrates Earth Day

CMG Celebrates Earth Day

As CMG commemorates Earth Day and reflects on the first quarter of the year, it's clear that our commitment to people, communities and the environment extends far beyond a single day or location. From Seattle to Long Island, Boston to Miami, and all of our markets in between, we've been actively involved in initiatives dedicated to sustainability and community engagement.

At the beginning of March, CMG Tulsa partnered with the Metropolitan Environmental Trust to host the 5th annual Big Spring Clean. This one-day event-Tulsa's largest recycling initiative-showcased the community's commitment to environmental stewardship. This year's collections surpassed expectations, totaling nearly 150,000 pounds (74.4 tons) of recycled materials. CMG Tulsa's initiative focused on environmental responsibility and keeping Tulsa a zero-landfill community.

Beyond the Big Spring Clean, the first quarter of the year has been marked by a series of impactful community events. From MLK Jr. Day parades and scholarship breakfasts in Miami, a wing-eating competition in Long Island, to the St. Jude Radiothon in Tulsa, these events have not only brought communities together but also helped generate millions of dollarsin economic impact. Volunteers dedicated more than 500 hours to these causes, demonstrating the power of collective action in driving positive change.

Each event, whether big or small, serves as a reminder of the power of community and the ripple effect of individual actions. As we move forward, CMG will continue to carry the spirit of these initiatives beyond the first quarter, embodying the values of compassion, sustainability, and togetherness in all our endeavors.
