Editors Note: There are two photos associated with this Press
Release.
ATCO announced today
that $4.2 Million was pledged to more than 500 charities in 2013
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 from 100 per cent of the donation. ATCO
further enhances its peoples' generosity by matching pledges to
human health and wellness organizations.
Through ATCO EPIC
Time to Give, employees volunteering 50 hours or more are eligible
to apply for a donation from ATCO to a registered charity of their
choice. In 2013, ATCO employees volunteered more than 26,000
hours.
"Year after year our
ATCO employees continue to amaze and inspire me with their
generosity and commitment to building better communities through
the ATCO EPIC program," said Nancy Southern, Chair, President &
Chief Executive Officer, ATCO Group. "The success of the program is
a testament to the hard work, dedication and creativity that our
employee-led committees put into their campaigns each year."
Special celebrations
were held today in Calgary and Edmonton to announce the amount
raised by the ATCO 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.
Based on a century
of ongoing community support, the ATCO EPIC program has raised more
than $24 Million for charitable organizations since the launch of
the program in 2006.
