On September 30, 2006 EFNW staff along with friends and family walked 17-miles along the Springwater Corridor for Forward Motion, a fundraising event for Children's Cancer Assocation (CCA). Organized by All Things Are Possible, the event featured a limited number of teams, sponsored by corporation and individuals. The EFNW team raised almost $2,000. In total, almost $79,000 was raised for CCA.
EFNW hopes that you will join us next September for the 7th Annual Forward Motion!
EFNW thanks the employees of Concero Technology, Fahey Ventures LLC, Hepieric, Inc., Miller Nash LLP, Sabrix, SmartForest Ventures, TechTracker and Tripwire for donating over $12,000 to our first-ever Education Initiative. Our goal was to provide every student at DA Grout Elementary School a backpack filled with supplies through Schoolhouse Supplies ''Tools for Schools'' program, and science, math, arts, and humanities enrichment classes for 40 students through Saturday Academy. Because of their generosity, we exceeded our goal and will also be providing Grout much-needed supplies after the winter break plus enrichment classes for an additional 20 students! Read more
We also thank EID Passport, Enuclia, Phoseon Technology, Tripwire and Portland Monthly for participating in EFNW's 2nd Annual Back-to-School Supply Drive. Together we collected over $4,000 in cash and supplies for Schoolhouse Supplies!
As a network of companies we have shown that we do make a deeper impact by leveraging resources for community benefit.
