Office hours are from 8:30am until 5:00pm Monday through Friday, Eastern time.

In recognition of the grand opening, company President and CEO Brian Audia said, “Surgance is growing every single day as a nonprofit entity. Our mission of aligning uncommon partners on common ground social issues to change lives and transform communities in measurable ways is something people everywhere are recognizing, appreciating and investing in. Our unique strategy and core competencies to equip world changers to change the world have proven themselves with our programs and in the places where we work. Volunteerism and impact have never been at higher levels and we believe that Surgance is poised for explosive impact in the lives of tens of thousands in the coming months. We need access to world class business and university partners. An address like Franklin street in Boston exemplifies the commitment of the national Surgance leadership to invest in the tools we need to support the movement including sensible and scalable office space and infrastructure. Additionally, the establishment of an office in Boston was the next logical step because our corporate strategy is focused on expanding the movement into New England even as we speak. Our next executive will be hired from the region and he has spent a lifetime investing in it and the next generation. We are looking forward to building relationships here and making an impact for years to come.”

Surgance addresses non divisive issues in communities such as youth athletics, education, foster care, chronic and severe malnourishment, as well as things like clothing the cold and serving refugees and immigrants in a time of need. Because the strategies are driven by issues locally and led by community minded individuals at the grassroots level, Surgance works on many different issues in many different places. But always with uncommon partners on common ground issues changing lives in the process.

“We like to talk about ‘face to face’ work where our volunteers and partners are focused on helping provide assistance to those that simply need a helping hand from their neighbor,” said Audia. “But we have found that ‘shoulder to shoulder’ work in communities among individuals and entities that do not usually work together provides opportunities for dialogue and understanding that wouldn’t have been there otherwise. We are literally watching communities be transformed by the community, in community. That is what we are all about.”

Additionally, Mr. Audia thought it important to note that Surgance is not a geographically centered strategy. “Surgance works to change as many lives as we possibly can in as many places as we possibly can. One day, we will have 10,000 programs in 10,000 places.”

“Where our corporate headquarters resides is a combination of many factors. We are happy to be in Boston but we are completely committed everywhere we work. And that includes Las Vegas, NV where the Surgance corporate offices are moving from. As a matter of fact, we have more activity planned there over the next year than we ever have.”

In a related final note, Audia wanted to give credit to the church he attended in Las Vegas. “Though we work with many churches and other faith-based entities in communities everywhere, Surgance is not a religious organization. Surgance and our partners simply ‘do good’ no matter what they believe or where their motivation resides. However, Hope Baptist Church led by Pastor Vance Pitman gave our nonprofit phones, office space and tens of thousands of dollars to help us get started when few others understood our unique strategy to usher in community transformation. They were one of those ‘uncommon partners.’ Though it was an out of the box investment for them in their community and the world, they believed in us and invested in us as a force for good. I would like to personally and formally thank them on behalf of the Surgance movement.”
