We believe in building and sustaining a strong sense of community, both within our Firm, with special events that enable our professionals to develop new friendships and business relationships, and with the community at large, by organizing or contributing to events benefiting worthy educational, medical and environmental causes. Above and beyond our financial contribution to over 50 non-profit organizations, our firm encourages the active participation of employees in a number of fundraising campaigns.
Annual Centraide Fundraising Campaign
Every fall, one of the highlights for our employees is the organization and execution of a corporate-wide fundraising campaign for Centraide. Employees work together to raise money through creative events such as raffles for additional vacation days, friendly inter-division competitions, jean days and parties. The employees receive full support from the Firm, which matches the total amount of funds the employees raise as a group. In 2006, over $75,000 was raised and our goal is to surpass that amount in 2007.
Fundraising is also an important part of our summer student program, with the organization of a series of activities designed to raise funds for the Foundation for Research into Children's Diseases.
We are also extremely concerned about the Environment : Go Green Campaign.
