Campaigners' Edition - October 2008
Keep up the Great Work!
Your hard work reverberates beyond the office cubicle. By organizing an employee giving campaign, you played a role in caring for 3,500 injured and orphaned animals, the protection of 100,000 acres of ancient forests in Oregon public lands and the delivery of 2,000 pounds of organic produce to people in need. This is no small feat! Your role as the campaign coordinator allows environmental and conservation groups do what they do best - keep people healthy, reduce global warming and protect places for wildlife.
If you are in the planning stage of your workplace giving campaign, give Earth Share a call at (503) 223-9015. We'll be happy to provide you with all the tools and resources you need.
