ATCO and its employees have raised $3.4 Million through an
employee-led fundraising program called ATCO EPIC - Employees
Participating in Communities. The program allows employees to
donate to the charities of their choice. Their donations are then
matched by ATCO.
"I am inspired by the continued dedication of our employees to
the ATCO EPIC program and by the spirit that goes into making the
campaigns a success," said Nancy Southern, President & Chief
Executive Officer, ATCO Group. "Through their generosity, our
employees have shown they are committed to building better
communities."
To celebrate the millions raised, special events were held today
in Calgary and Edmonton. The celebration events were attended by
EPIC committee leaders from all nine of ATCO's principal operating
companies as well as representatives from benefiting charity
organizations.
ATCO EPIC is an annual campaign. It began in 2006. Under the
program, ATCO absorbs all of the administration costs, ensuring
that 100 per cent of employee donations go toward the employees'
charities of choice. This year's campaign included a series of
fundraising events, auctions, friendly team competitions and
employee pledges.
ATCO also recognizes the contributions of employees who
volunteer their time and talents to organizations that make our
communities a better place to work and live. Through ATCO EPIC Time
to Give, employees volunteering 50 hours or more are eligible to
apply for a $150 donation from ATCO to a registered charity of
their choice. In 2011, ATCO employees volunteered more than 37,900
hours.
