As a company, we believe strongly in giving back to the community and assisting those that are in greater need than ourselves. In the past we have participated in 5k and 10k walks fighting hunger, improving the health of newborn babies, granting “wishes” and fighting breast cancer. Recently a few of us spent an entire Saturday taking part in building a home through Habitat for Humanity. During the holidays, it is our agency tradition to sponsor families in need by providing warm meals, holiday presents and decorations to help spread the cheer. As an agency, we have also donated our services to help numerous local, non-profit organizations with their print design, collateral assistance, website and landing page development and event promotion.

A few of us have taken volunteering to another level and have decided to participate in the 3-day breast cancer walk. In August, we’ll walk 60 miles over the course of 3 days with thousands of other men and women. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. Our partner company, Barker Educational Services Team (BEST), has been feverishly fundraising over the past few weeks and Bob Barker has agreed to match the funds that his employees have agreed to put forth. Not only is this an incredibly generous offer, we feel as though it has put a greater level of respect and trust between BEST and EDU Interactive.
