Harris & Harris is Golfing to Change a Child’s Life

Posted on September 08 2011

This year, Harris & Harris was a platinum sponsor for the Crossroads for Youth 22nd Annual Golf
Classic. Crossroads for Youth, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of troubled
children, held their annual golf open in Lake Orion, Michigan. Harris & Harris employees shared
a foursome with a Detroit area client. It was a beautiful day on the course, and the golfers shared
many laughs and high scores. However, their focus was really on the purpose of the event and the
children. Harris & Harris, among numerous other sponsors, impacted several children’s lives that
day and perhaps forever through their financial sponsorship.

Harris & Harris has partnered with several clients in Michigan, many of whom are also proud
supporters of Crossroads for Youth. Harris & Harris believes in supporting the communities
where its clients live and work. Since its inception, Harris & Harris has always donated time and
money to various organizations in the areas in which they serve, to improve the lives of the many
less fortunate within those areas and truly make a difference. “We strongly believe in the mission
of Crossroads for Youth, to strengthen families and youth with skills to become valued citizens.
It’s not often you see such an exceptional organization,” said Arnie Harris, President and CEO of
Harris & Harris.

Whether helping children develop necessary life skills or collecting debt, it is important to be
sensitive. At Harris & Harris, we focus on collaborating with customers and listening to their
concerns. We hope that by developing partnerships with organizations like Crossroads for Youth,
we can become more receptive to debtors needs and have a better understanding of their situation.
“There is a lot we can learn from those at Crossroads for Youth, both the volunteers and the
children alike,” said Arnie Harris.

Harris & Harris plans to continue its charitable support to Crossroads for Youth and many other
organizations throughout Michigan and the United States. Harris & Harris is proud to be among
the many sponsors of the golf outing and will continue to make philanthropy a priority at the
company and amongst its employees.
