We value the service we can give to make our communities stronger.
Every year, Companion Systems supports multiple causes in the community. The most recent activities that Companion employees participated in were the Komen Race for the Cure, JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes, Strutt Your Mutt and the Police Unity Tour.
Komen Race for the Cure
The Komen Race for the Cure supports the Susan G. Komen for the Cure fight against breast cancer. With survivors and activists in 125 cities and communities, more than 100 Komen Race for the Cure® events in the United States and three International Affiliates, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the most progressive grassroots organization fighting breast cancer today.
With more than 100,000 survivors and activists dedicated to the fight against breast cancer, the Komen Affiliate Network is the nation's largest private funder of community-based breast health education and breast cancer screening and treatment programs.
Thanks to events like the Komen Race for the Cure, nearly $1 billion has been invested toward their goal, becoming the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.
JDRF
The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation is the leading charitable funder and advocate of type 1 (juvenile) diabetes research worldwide.
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is a disease which strikes children suddenly and requires multiple injections of insulin daily or a continuous infusion of insulin through a pump. Insulin, however, is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
As a company we raised over $8,000 for the 2009 Walk to Cure Diabetes.
Strutt Your Mutt
Our team is strutting our mutts in West Jordan, Utah this May. We are supporting No More Homeless Pets goal to end euthanasia of homeless dogs and cats and improving the lives of feral cats. Strut Your Mutt is a fun event Companion Systems supports every year.
Police Unity Tour
The Police Unity Tour Incorporated was formed in 1997 by a group of New Jersey Law Enforcement officers who rode their bicycles from Florham Park, NJ to Washington D.C. For the past 10 years, over 1000 law enforcement officers nationwide have joined the the bike ride to raise awareness and financial support for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
Companion Systems is supporting a North Salt Lake police officer for the 2010 Police Unity Tour. The officer will be riding 320 miles from New Jersey to Wasington D.C to honor fallen officers.
