Community Involvement - The Importance of Giving Back

Charitable giving has always been very important to Epilog. Since opening our doors in 1988, we have made a commitment to supporting local, regional and national causes we believe in. Below are a few of the organizations we have worked with:

In addition, Epilog has been involved in various local high school sports and extracurricular club activities.

With each charitable contribution of time and/or monetary gifts, Epilog furthers its commitment to giving back to the organizations that make our world a better place.

Here are some of our favorite recent giving activities!

American Military Family, Inc and Family Tree ~ 2009 Charity Drive

Giving back to the community has always been a priority at Epilog. This year was no exception as we worked with two deserving non-profit organizations in our area who both make Christmas a little brighter for local and military families.

Thanks to our generous staff, we donated over 120 new toys for American Military Family. These toys will be distributed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs. American Military Family's mission is to honor and support all members of the United States Military and their families, who together serve and sacrifice so much for all of us as they protect and defend our freedom. During these trying times for our military, we felt it was important to remember that our active-duty military members have children at home who are struggling with the absence of their parent and uncertainty about when they will return. We had the opportunity this holiday season to give them a great token of our appreciation. It is also a great comfort to our military members to know that their families are happy and being taken care of at home. In addition to the toys, Epilog made a corporate donation of $1000.

American Military Family Founder and President Debbie Quackenbush accepts Epilog's donation from Mike Dean, director of sales and marketing.

This year Epilog also "adopted" a family from the Family Tree organization. Family Tree provides a broad range of services and shelter to the families and youth of metro Denver to overcome child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness. Employees raised $200 to help purchase gifts and other essentials for a mother and daughter in the area - hopefully making their holiday season more enjoyable. Epilog was also able to provide a $1000 corporate donation to Family Tree!

We were honored to once again assist Family Tree who recently won the 2009 Governor's Service Award for Outstanding Non-Profit Organization. To learn more about all of the services Family Tree provides for homeless & abused Coloradoans you can access www.thefamilytree.org.

Family Tree Giving
Epilog recently wrapped up our 2008 toy drive benefiting children and teens being served by the Family Tree organization. Employees brought in nearly 40 gifts for underprivileged youth to help make their Christmas holiday a little brighter.

The Family Tree is a Colorado-based charity whose mission is to help people overcome child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness in an effort to become safe, strong and self-reliant.

Family Tree helps people reach these goals by offering a wide spectrum of services including: emergency shelters for runaway and abused youth, women and children victims of domestic violence, and homeless women and children; counseling and support groups; parenting and self-sufficiency classes; temporary and permanent housing; transportation assistance; supervised visitation and safe exchange programs, among other services.

Fleece Navidad!

No, it's not a misspelling, Fleece Navidad is the latest community activity in which Epilog employees are participating. This year individual Epilog employees "adopted" 10 different senior citizens at the Camellia Healthcare Center who were in need of warm clothes this holiday season. "For the small price of a sweatshirt and sweat pants, our employees can really make a difference in someone's life," said Mike Dean, director of sales and marketing. "We tend to get so busy and rushed during this time of year - it's comforting to know even a small gesture can really make someone else's holiday." The names of only ten seniors were given to us and upon notifying the company, all ten were "adopted" in less than 60 minutes!

Epilog Director of Operations Arrested!

Roy Masters, Epilog director of operations, was "arrested" at 11 a.m. the morning of the November 15.

Charged with having a big heart, Master's was tasked with raising $1,300 bail to get out of the slammer (all bail money goes to the MDA for equipment, activities and research.) Luckily, Epilog helped Masters raise bail money (and more!) with a $2,500 donation.

"Muscular Dystrophy is a devastating disease and raising money and awareness for the cause is a priority of mine," Masters said.

"I can't think of a better reason to spend a few hours in jail than to raise money for the MDA."

"I never thought I'd say this, but I couldn't be happier to have one of our employees behind bars," said Mike Dean, director of sales and marketing. "Seriously though, the MDA is a great cause and we're very excited to continue our work with them."

**A few weeks after his "arrest" Masters was informed he was the top individual bailraiser this year, bringing in $2500. That money will send three children to MDA Summer Camp in 2008.
