Company Employees Participate in Record Numbers Three Years in a Row; TeleTech Matches Employee Donations With a Corporate Sponsorship
ENGLEWOOD, CO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/30/08 -- TeleTech
Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTEC), one of the largest and most
geographically diverse global providers of business process outsourcing (BPO)
solutions, today announced its premier sponsorship of the Susan G. Komen
Denver Race for the CureĀ®. For three years in a row, contributions from
TeleTech and its employees earned it recognition as the number one
organization for donations. More than 300 TeleTech team members are
expected to participate in Sunday's race.
TeleTech is one of just five local premier sponsors. The premier
sponsorship comes as a response to TeleTech employees, who have more than
doubled the number of team registrants since 2006. In addition to the
corporate sponsorship, TeleTech employees have raised more than $50,000 so
far this year, including race registration fees.
"We are very proud of our employees and thrilled to support their passion
and collaborative efforts for such an important cause," said Kenneth
Tuchman, TeleTech chairman and chief executive officer.
The TeleTech community action team, in conjunction with the TeleTech
Foundation, has invented ingenious ways to raise money for the Denver
Metropolitan Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure beyond encouraging
employees to register for the Komen Denver Race for the Cure. Notable
fundraisers include:
-- Selling pink TeleTech for the Cure rubber bracelets at TeleTech global
headquarters in Denver
-- Selling casual days to employees
-- Selling a week of casual days during Pink Week, the five business days
preceding the Denver race
-- Staffing a Donation Station that allows TeleTech employees to donate
the value of unused vacation days to the Denver Metropolitan Affiliate
-- Offering pink food in the company cafeteria during Pink Week in
exchange for donations
These fundraisers, in addition to the company's sponsorship, are expected
to boost TeleTech's total donation to more than $100,000.
