ATCO announced today that $3.8 Million was raised for charity in
2012 through its ATCO EPIC (Employees Participating in Communities)
program. The employee-led program combines fundraising events,
auctions, friendly team competitions and employee pledges to
support charitable organizations.
ATCO employees are able to donate to the charities of their
choice with all administration costs for the program absorbed by
ATCO, ensuring that the charities benefit from100 per cent of the
donation. ATCO further enhances its peoples' generosity by matching
charitable donations made to human health and wellness
organizations.
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 2012, ATCO employees
volunteered more than 34,000 hours.
"The ATCO EPIC program is a testament to the generosity of our
people and their commitment to building better communities," said
Nancy Southern, Chair, President & Chief Executive Officer,
ATCO Group. "The hard work and dedication of our employees to the
success of this program year after year is an inspiration."
Special celebrations were held today in Calgary and Edmonton to
announce the amount raised by the EPIC program and to bring
together committee leaders from all nine of ATCO's principal
operating companies as well as representatives from benefiting
charity organizations.
Building on nearly 60 years of ongoing community support, ATCO
EPIC was launched in 2006 and has raised over $19 Million for
charitable organizations since that time.
