The Washington, D.C. market held their annual picnic, hosted by the BOLD (Bringing Out LatinX Diversity), PACT (Parents and Caretakers), and BEN (Black Employee Network) ERGs, for colleagues, their families, and friends. The event was filled with a variety of activities and games for everyone to enjoy. As well as catering an employee favorite, Mission BBQ, alongside Halloween/ Día de Muertos themed desserts. In alignment with CrossCountry’s mission, the event fostered a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, highlighting the importance of belonging and the unique collaboration between both cultures.
To kick off the event, the Aye Aye Aye Mariachi Band performed, followed by a fun and engaging ‘Trick or Trivia’ game for both kids and adults. This interactive activity helped participants learn interesting facts about Hispanic culture, celebrating and highlighting BOLD’s Hispanic heritage. With a day full of memories, laughter, and contributions to two great cultures, people were able to share experiences and engaging conversations among one another. The event was a wonderful success, and we are excited for next year!
“The D.C. picnic was a wonderful celebration of our CrossCountry community, and it was fantastic to see our Social Committee join forces with our ERGs. Their collaboration made the event not only a great gathering but also a meaningful tribute to Hispanic Heritage Month.” – Shawn Degnan, Accounting Advisory Lead, Washington, D.C. Office Lead
