Our Commitment to the Community
In addition to innovating for business, supporting the community is central to our mission. Every year, portions of our profits and many hours are devoted to supporting worthy causes.
For example, every quarter, we have volunteer events, where the whole staff (yes, even the executive) gets out in the community as a team. We’ve painted at Ronald McDonald House, sorted food at the Food Bank and scrubbed trays at Meals on Wheels.
In 2011, by August, we had raised nearly $50,000 for local causes and committed over 400 hours to volunteering.
Here’s a small sampling of the groups we support:
