Bruce Allen Craig Highlights Community Responsibility in New Feature

Texas business leader uses spotlight interview to advocate for child protection and local engagement

Texas, US, 24th December 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Bruce Allen Craig, CEO and President of Big Easy Entertainment, is using a newly published spotlight interview to raise awareness about community responsibility, child protection, and the role individuals play in creating safer, stronger local environments.

In the interview, Craig reflects on more than 40 years in business, from real estate development to entertainment leadership, and speaks openly about why giving back has become a core priority.

"Success means very little if you're not giving something back," Craig said. "If you're building businesses but ignoring the people around you, you're missing the point."

Advocating for Child Protection

Craig's message is closely tied to his recent participation in the 2025 Dancing with the Stars event benefiting the Center for Child Protection. The organisation serves as the first stop for children in Travis County suspected of being victims of abuse.

According to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, more than 60,000 confirmed cases of child abuse and neglect are reported statewide each year. Nationally, the CDC estimates that 1 in 7 children experience abuse or neglect annually.

"These numbers aren't abstract," Craig said. "They represent real children who need safety and dignity."

During his visit to the Center, Craig spent time in the "kids' closet," which provides clothing and essentials to children in crisis.

"Something as simple as a clean shirt can help a child feel human again," he said. "That matters more than people realise."

Business Leadership Beyond Profit

In the interview, Craig also connects his business philosophy to community action. After decades of navigating market cycles, he believes adaptability and responsibility go hand in hand.

"When markets shift, you can't freeze," Craig said. "The same applies to communities. If something needs attention, you step up."

Small actions, he notes, have real impact. Studies show that for every $100 spent at a local business, about $68 stays in the local economy, compared to less than half when spent with national chains.

"Communities don't thrive by accident," Craig said. "They thrive because people choose to participate."

A Call to Individual Action

Rather than asking for grand gestures, Craig encourages simple, personal steps:

Support local charities that work directly with children and families

Volunteer time, skills, or services

Donate essentials like clothing and school supplies

Stay informed and speak up when community needs are visible

"You don't need a title or a platform," Craig said. "You just need to care enough to act."
