My brother in-law is the vice-president of a company that does more that provide lip service for people with special needs. Not only does Alliance Data hold a huge annual fundraiser to help people with special needs they also go further. They encourage their employees to volunteer and they regularly do. And, they hire people with special needs to work at Alliance Data. This is really a model of how a business can and should work to support their community. GO ALLIANCE DATA!

Alliance Data will host the 9th annual fundraiser, “A Special Evening with The Pointer Sisters” to benefit Special Care & Career Services (SCCS), a Dallas-based non-profit that strives to build independence for individuals with developmental disabilities. Headlining this year’s concert at the brand-new Winspear Opera House, Grammy-award winning music group The Pointer Sisters will perform pop classics from their repertoire that includes Jump (For My Love), I’m So Excited, and Neutron Dance, among others.
Alliance Data’s partnership with SCCS is truly multifaceted in that Alliance Data currently employs three SCCS clients, company associates regularly volunteer with SCCS, and Alliance Data also provides financial support to the non-profit.
“SCCS is an organization where we can be a real partner,” said Alan Utay, executive vice president and general counsel at Alliance Data. “All our associates would agree the single most rewarding piece of this relationship is employing Special Care clients in our offices and realizing we truly are giving back to the community.”
