The American Portfolios (AP) Employee Activity Committee (EAC) held the first annual Adopt-A-Butterfly Holiday Gift Drive to benefit The Butterfly Effect Project (BEP Girls), an AP-sponsored non-profit organization. A host of AP home office employees rallied to make the holidays brighter for 20 local at-risk children and teens by fulfilling their holiday wish lists so they have gifts to open this season. On Dec. 15, the EAC organized a tree-trimming ceremony, during which participants in the Adopt-A-Butterfly Holiday Gift Drive were acknowledged with a custom-made ornament featuring their BEP Girl's name, and were asked to hang their ornaments on the holiday tree.
