Marketwired Launches Community Giving Initiative
Unique Opportunity Allows Employees to Choose Charity, Take Time From Work to Assist
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ON -- (Marketwired) -- 11/15/13 -- Marketwired wanted to make a difference that extends beyond communication solutions for its clients, so it launched a community giving program called Community Builders. Employees identify the charity of their choice, giving their time and serving as a catalyst for change in their communities. Beginning at Marketwired's corporate headquarters in Toronto, the program is expanding to Marketwired facilities around the globe from there. Every full-time employee receives one day of volunteer leave a quarter to take part in the program, which fosters team building and inspires others to give back.
"When you are able to support a charitable organization, it's clear that the organization benefits, but the individual does as well," said Jim Delaney, CEO of Marketwired. "Each quarter, we encourage our team to give the gift of time to a local school, non-profit organization, community partnership or other philanthropic cause. This is only one small step toward a bigger goal that we have to reach out to our communities."
Recently, Marketwired team members took part in the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation's "CIBC Run for the Cure" event. The event was an opportunity for employees to show their support by giving back to a very important cause.
"The 'Run for the Cure' event was a prime example of how important the community is to us," added Delaney. "By encouraging our employees to give their time, we can inspire others in our community to give back, as well."
