ATLANTA, GA – June 1, 2005 – Continuing a long-standing tradition of providing assistance to Atlanta-area charitable organizations, PointClear recently completed an internal campaign to benefit Foster Children’s Foundation (FCF), a non-profit serving Atlanta-area foster children. FCF was selected by PointClear employees as the spring quarter community service partner because of FCF’s work supporting the emotional, educational and economic needs of foster children. Collaboration with FCF identified the Clothing Needs Center and funds for summer camp as top priorities, and PointClear went to work. An employee clothing drive resulted in a large collection of apparel items suitable for children ranging in age from babies to teens. A pizza party fundraiser along with a donation from PointClear resulted in a $500 donation to help send children on a week-long summer trip to Camp All-American. “Without the support of the community and companies like PointClear, we would not be able to provide for the many needs of foster children,” said Suzanne Geske, founder, Foster Children’s Foundation. “Together, we can continue to help these children whose circumstances have left them unable to help themselves, raise their self-esteem and help them realize that they are a vital and valuable part of society.” In addition to Foster Children’s Foundation, PointClear supports Partnership Against Domestic Violence, North Fulton Community Charities, Hands On Atlanta and has provided holiday packages to US troops serving abroad. At PointClear, a vital part of our values that are also shared by every employee, is giving back to the community that we all live and work in,” said Dan McDade, president and CEO, PointClear. “Our efforts to support worthy causes such as the Foster Children’s Foundation are an example of how PointClear gives in multiple ways to the non-profits who provide services and support to those in our community who are in need.” About Foster Children’s Foundation About PointClear Contact Information: |
