Sapphire Technologies has always been a socially responsible company with passionate employees. We are given 1 paid day each year to volunteer (most recently we spend a day at the 2nd Harvest Food Bank in Tampa), there are charities the employees donate to every paycheck, and each office gets a certain amount of money each year to donate to the charity of their choice. Due to a loss of a close friend of one of our employees to cancer, we’ve recently made cash donations to send a child to camp with Hospice and to the Tug McGraw Foundation.
Is this enough? Not even close. The Tampa office decided to take their charity efforts a few steps further.
For the last 2 years the Tampa office has partnered with Metropolitan Ministries during the holiday season collecting and donating several hundred pounds of food. And monthly we choose a charity and each employee donates $5 in order to get a jeans day. Most recently we’ve donated to the slain officers families from Tampa. We usually donate to a local charity or something that has caught our attention in the news. One month one of our teammates decided to clear her conscience by having us donate to the Seabird Sanctuary after accidently hitting a feathered friend in her car.
Whether it’s time or money, the Tampa office of Sapphire Technologies has always tried to lend a hand and we plan on continuing to do so even as the economy gets better.
