Celebrating National Philanthropy Day

November 15, 2017

Every year on November 15, organizations, donors, and volunteers celebrate National Philanthropy Day across the United States. At POA, charitable giving is a big part of our corporate philosophy. Each of our branches is actively involved with local nonprofits to give back to the communities that we live and work in.

In honor of this special day, we’re taking the opportunity to highlight a few of the wonderful organizations we’ve worked with over the years.

Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA)

We’ve been partners with the OSAA and local high schools for over 20 years. This year, the OSAA nominated us for an award from the National Federation of State High School Associations for our outstanding service to local high schools. We’re honored to be recognized as a force of good in our local communities and look forward to continuing to support youth activities for years to come.

Fox 12 Toy Drive

One of our favorite parts of the holiday season is the start of Fox 12 Oregon’s Annual Toy Drive. As part of our sponsorship, we open the doors to our Portland headquarters as a drop-off location each year. We love seeing our lobby fill up with toys for deserving children as we get closer to Christmas!

Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland

We sponsor several events throughout the year that benefit our local Boys & Girls Clubs. Last summer, the Infinite Potential Golf Tournament raised over $72,000 for 25 local charities including Boys & Girls Clubs of Portland. The Boys & Girls Clubs team even won second place in the tournament (pictured above).

During back-to-school season this year, we also sponsored the Pack to School Drive, which collected donations of school supplies for our local Boys & Girls Clubs.

Supporting Our Local Communities

As we’ve expanded our reach in several West Coast markets, we’re proud of our involvement in philanthropy with charities such as these through sponsorships and events. Pacific Office Automation employees are proud to participate and volunteer in their local communities to make them better places to live and work.

If you’re an organization interested in a partnership with us, please send a message to community@pacificoffice.com.
