The 2020 BCG Impact Scholarship has been awarded to Tessa Van Vliet, a recent graduate of Rosemont High School in the Sacramento area.

Biddle Consulting Group, Inc. (BCG), one of the nation’s leading providers of consulting services regarding equal employment opportunity and affirmative action, created the annual “BCG Impact Scholarship” this year to be awarded each year to a graduating high school senior.

We are looking for students with a demonstrable history of social and/or economic justice advocacy who intend to continue their education past high school. BCG will select one student each year to receive an award of $2,500, which is meant to defray education costs and allow the student to focus more energy and resources on their continued advocacy efforts.

Applicants were asked to submit an essay detailing:

• Their past advocacy interests and activities, including how they became interested in their particular cause(s);
• Their future plans/hopes for continued advocacy initiatives; and
• How the Impact Scholarship would allow them to continue their advocacy.

The next BCG Impact Scholarship application deadline is April 2021. Go to www.biddle.com/bcg-impact-scholarship.html for qualification requirements and submission guidelines.

The Arthritis Foundation’s Jingle Bell Run is a fun way to get out, get moving and raise funds and awareness to cure America’s #1 cause of disability. In communities nationwide, this annual event brings together people from all walks of life to shout, “Yes, we will live life to its fullest while searching for a cure!”

This is the 2nd year that Biddle Consulting Group joined this fun run with 14 people on our team, made up of Biddle employees and their family members. We were able to raise a total of $545 surpassing our goal of $500.

Two of our employees made it to the top 15 of the race finishers. Oscar Martinez ranking 1st in his age group and finishing 9th overall, while Phil Akroyd finished 2nd in his age group and 13th overall.

Thank you for all the support!
