MARLBOROUGH, MA and BOISE, ID--(Marketwire - November 5, 2009) - Workscape, Inc., a leading provider of
integrated HR solutions and services, has helped raise funds for the Massachusetts Affiliate of Susan G. Komen
for the Cure by becoming "Passionately Pink." As part of the Workscape
Gives Back program and to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, employees of
Workscape supported Passionately Pink for the Cure, a fundraising program
that inspires breast health awareness, breast cancer advocacy and honors
those affected by the disease.
On October 4, Workscape employees in the company's Marlborough and Boise
locations dressed in pink to kick-off the month-long fundraising effort.
Throughout October, Workscape employees donated items and services that
were auctioned online. The proceeds from the company-wide auction, coupled
with direct individual online contributions, enabled Workscape to
contribute $6,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Ed Hurley-Wales, Workscape's senior vice president of Human Resources,
commented, "Workscape is committed to giving back to the community. For the
second year, our employees chose to help fight against cancer during Breast
Cancer Awareness Month. We are proud to play a part in the battle against
this disease, which has affected so many lives."
The auction and related fundraising activities are the latest initiatives
in an ongoing series of corporate social responsibility programs sponsored
by Workscape and its employees. Most recently, Workscape held its second
annual "Workscape Gives Back" tour -- a multi-city event that raised funds
and awareness for community food banks. This year's tour covered six
Midwestern and Western cities -- beginning in Chicago, Illinois immediately
following the HR Technology Conference and ending in Boise, Idaho -- the
location of Workscape's HR Service Center. Details of the tour can found on
Workscape's blog, which is accessible at http://blogs.workscape.com.
