Happy Fourth of July! 🎆

As we celebrate this day, SPINS wants to wish everyone a joyous and safe holiday. This is a wonderful time to enjoy quality moments with family and friends, and to savor some delicious food.

While we enjoy the festivities, let’s take a moment to remember the true reason for the celebration—our independence. It’s a day to reflect on the freedoms we cherish and the values that unite us as a nation.

Have a fantastic Fourth of July, everyone! 🇺🇸

Today, SPINS joins the nation in celebrating Juneteenth, marking the announcement of freedom for enslaved people on June 19, 1865. This day is both a celebration of freedom and a reflection on our ongoing journey toward equality and justice.

At SPINS, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where every voice is valued. We believe our strength lies in our diversity and strive to create an environment where everyone can thrive. As we celebrate this historic day, let’s renew our commitment to building a future where equality and opportunity are available to all.

We encourage everyone to learn about the history of Juneteenth, engage in meaningful conversations, and support Black-owned businesses. The consumer-packaged goods (CPG) industry has a vital role in shaping consumer behavior and economic growth. Recognizing the contributions of diverse and Black-owned businesses is essential.

Supporting Black-owned businesses is not only a social responsibility but also a smart business strategy. Let’s all contribute to a more equitable marketplace by purchasing their products, amplifying their voices, and partnering with them.

Happy Juneteenth from all of us at SPINS!

🌈 Celebrating Pride and Fostering Belonging in the CPG Industry 🌈

At SPINS, we believe that everyone should feel they belong, both in our communities and within the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry. This year, we're proud to join an impressive list of Chicago companies in sponsoring Professionals Do Pride 2024.

This event is not just a celebration of Pride but also a vital fundraiser for One Roof Chicago, a local charity dedicated to building a welcoming, intergenerational community for those most in need of affirming housing, meaningful connection, and career development.

📅 Event Details:
- Date: Thursday, June 20th
- Time: 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
- Location: Sidetrack, Chicago
- Tickets: $20 at the door (cash only), includes two drink tickets and a chance to win door prizes
- Beneficiary: One Roof Chicago

In Chicago, the LGBTQ+ community faces significant challenges, from youth homelessness and food insecurity to the accelerated aging of those living with HIV and a lack of culturally competent support for seniors. By supporting Professionals Do Pride, we are helping to address these urgent needs.

Join us in celebrating Pride and supporting a cause that makes a tangible difference in our community. Let's come together to ensure everyone feels they belong.

We can't wait to celebrate with you all on June 20th! 🏳️‍🌈
