ATLANTA, GA – August 1, 2005 – Through a series of seasonal campaigns to raise donations, PointClear has continued its support of Gwinnett’s Partnership Against Domestic Violence program for a second year. The company has contributed to this charity as part of its corporate program to support local non-profit organizations. PointClear has collected donations for school supplies, filling 30 backpacks for the children in the program before the school year started. Employees have also contributed Christmas gifts to fulfill children’s wish lists. Earlier this year, PointClear held “Pi Day” on March 14th, where employees brought in pies for a tasting contest and silent auction. All of the proceeds went to the purchase of candy and toys to go in Easter baskets for children of the PADV program. “The holidays which represent love and family togetherness are tough for the women and their children in our shelters,” said Cathy Willis Spraetz, CEO of Partnership Against Domestic Violence. “PointClear helps bring a little cheer and joy to them with their holiday gifts and year-round donations. The backpacks are also always a welcomed donation, providing the children with an essential item for school and recreation.” PointClear’s involvement with PADV is part of a company-wide program that allows employees to suggest and decide on nonprofit organizations to support on a quarterly basis. This program, led by a group of PointClear employees and management, has become a key part of the company’s culture and contributes to employees’ job satisfaction. “By letting our employees have a voice in which nonprofit organizations we contribute to, PointClear is able to give to many different charitable organizations in our community that are important to us,” said Dan McDade, president and CEO of PointClear. “We are proud to continue to support the Partnership Against Domestic Violence and its worthwhile mission to improve the lives of people in need.” About Partnership Against Domestic Violence About PointClear Contact Information: |
