Basement Systems Donates to Education Organization

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Basement Systems recently donated money to DonorsChoose.org, an organization dedicated to addressing the scarcity and inequitable distribution of learning materials and experiences in our public schools.

Teachers from various public schools make requests letting people know what they need and how much of it is needed for their students to have an adequate education.

Basement Systems helped out the Newberry Book Club project by donating money and allowing a teacher to purchase books for her class.

Web Team Member Runs for a Good Cause

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

Here at Basement Systems, we are lucky to have a team of employees who work hard and try to make a difference in the world.

One of our own web department employees, Mike King, has been vigorously training and raising money for 6 months in preparation for a half marathon on behalf of the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA).

On Friday, Jan. 23, Mike finished this 13.1-mile run in 2 hours and 22 minutes, even bringing home a medal!

The run was held in Miami, Florida. Mike’s team raised a total $164,256, putting them in third place.  In total, the event brought in $1.6 million, all of which went directly to the CCFA.

Everyone here at Basement Systems is proud that a member of our team worked so hard for an important cause.  Congratulations, Mike!

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

In an effort to bring holiday cheer to those less fortunate this season, Basement Systems is working with TEAM, Inc., and the Valley Chamber of Commerce to help out the Valley chapter of Toys for Tots. Basement Systems will act as an official drop-off site for toys and donations, as well as donate a truck to pick up donations from various local organizations such as the post office, banks, daycare centers and other places. John Kay, of Basement Systems, is spearheading the project and has donated his time driving the truck to pick up donated toys for young children and money to go towards gifts for older children and teenagers.

“The older children kind of get left out,” said Kay. He added that those who donate have also given gift certificates to movie theaters or video game stores for older kids and teenagers in need. Last week, Kay took a Basement Systems truck to 20 local businesses and collected toys. (more…)
