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. Our most recent activities are highlighted below.
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.

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.
