We believe that it is extremely important for Allyis to be actively engaged in the welfare of our community and to provide our employees the opportunity to participate in ways that are most suitable to them. Allyis’ Charitable Giving Program focuses its giving on local charitable agencies in the Pacific Northwest that support families, and community health and welfare. Allyis also offers an employer matching program, in which Allyis matches employee donations during giving campaigns throughout the year.
We feel passionately about supporting the following five charities throughout 2007:
Childhaven (+)
Since 2003, Allyis has organized a holiday giving tree, providing gifts of toys and clothing for Childhaven children.
Childhaven’s mission focuses on serving children ages one month through five years who are at risk of or who have suffered from abuse and neglect. Last year, Allyis and our employees sponsored Childhaven graduates who entered public kindergarten and provided them with new clothes, backpacks, and school supplies. In December 2006, $3,375 worth of gift card donations were included in the holiday gifts given to children of Allyis employees, and employees donated gifts and countless gift cards, to help Childhaven children have a brighter holiday.
Northwest Harvest (+)
Allyis has supported
Northwest Harvest since 2004. Northwest Harvest is the only statewide hunger relief agency in Washington, securing over 18 million pounds of food for distribution. It supplies this food, without fees of any kind, to more than 300 food banks and meal programs across the state. In December 2006, Allyis placed $4,500 worth of Northwest Harvest gift cards in our client holiday gift baskets. Allyis also organizes an annual food drive to benefit the agency, as well as a volunteer day when we can personally bag groceries for hungry families.
Children’s Hospital & Regional Medical Center (+)
Children’s Hospital’s mission is to prevent, treat, and eliminate pediatric disease, and they aim to be the best children’s hospital. They believe that all children have unique needs and should grow up without illness or injury. Allyis supports Children’s Hospital by holding a drive each year to benefit the Children's Hospital Consignment Store, and employees have the opportunity to participate in the “Run for Children’s” at Magnuson Park held each October.
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Northwest (+)
Founded in 1982,
JDRF Northwest is dedicated to finding a cure for juvenile diabetes. Typically, more than 80 cents of every dollar donated to JDRF goes directly to worldwide research and education about research. For the May 2006 JDRF Beat the Bridge run, Team Allyis raised $4,000 in pledge donations, and our 2007 goal is to raise $5,500.
Camp Korey (+)
Camp Korey serves children 6-16 living with serious and life-altering conditions, and gives children the opportunity to experience the joys and elation of summer camp. Allyis has supported Camp Korey since 2005 and provides hosting and ongoing development/editing/publishing support for the Camp Korey Web site, as well as marketing assistance when needed.
