Making a difference though foundation events
The morning of February 14 wasn’t just a typical Monday. Several Danos employees opened their inboxes to find a Valentine ecard from fellow coworkers. For a $1 donation to the Danos Foundation, employees could send a custom ecard to their coworkers to show appreciation, and that’s exactly what they did. These Valentine ecards added a little something to an otherwise normal Monday and is a perfect example of how one small gesture can make a big impact.
On Wednesday, February 16, the Danos Foundation hosted its annual SOUPer Bowl fundraiser. For a $10 donation to the Danos Foundation, employees could taste the entries from the seven cooking teams and vote on their top two favorite soup dishes. This year’s event was a success as seven teams entered to win the coveted championship soup paddle. See all team names and entries below.
