ParetoLogic Managers Take Pie in the Face for Charity
As part of ongoing fundraising efforts for local charity Power to Be, ParetoLogic staffers recently held a pie throwing event, where top ParetoLogic managers got pied to raise cash.
Victoria, B.C., March 21, 2011 – The staff and founders of ParetoLogic kicked off a series of fundraising events for the BC charity Power to Be. The software developers at ParetoLogic are joined by 25 other Victoria technology companies, competing to see who can raise the most for Power to Be, which offers amazing life experiences for its disadvantaged participants.
First in ParetoLogic's series of charities: a pie-faced fundraiser. In Three Stooges fashion, the staffers with the most donations in their name got a cream pie in the face. ParetoLogic staff voted with their dollars to elect two managers, and one co-founder, as targets. ParetoLogic members also recorded the messy event, and shared their videos on YouTube.
"It's a great way to raise money – while having a good time," explained Jamie-Lynn Gowitt, ParetoLogic's HR Manager and organizer of the pie event. "Near the end, we had the top-voted managers offering extra donations, and prizes, to encourage staff to pie somebody else." The result of all this pie fun was over $1,200 raised in one swoop – a pretty sweet amount.
Power to Be offers a outdoor and adventure activities for youth from underprivileged backgrounds, or individuals with a variety of disabilities. The various programs allow participants to learn new skills, meet people, and have fun in the previously unknown wilderness. By providing access to nature activities, Power to Be gives will give 650 families this year life experiences that would otherwise not be possible.
To help Power to Be continue to support disadvantaged youth, ParetoLogic staff have set their donation goal at $5,000. If they meet their goal, ParetoLogic as a company will match it for a total $10,000 donation.
Along with the pie-in-the-face fundraiser, ParetoLogic also has planned a variety of other events to encourage donations for Power to Be, including a burger night and bake sale.
