OPTing In – The OnProcess Technology Blog

OnProcess Technology recently completed its 2^nd annual fundraising effort, on the occasion of Boston Marathon, to benefit Emma’s Hope for a Cure, a fundraising organization dedicated to the cure and eradication of FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis).

The organization is named for Emma Jane Raftery, a courageous 4 year old girl from Massachusetts who is battling the rare kidney disease, for which there is currently no known cure.

OnProcess’ MAD Committee (“Make A Difference”), led by team members Amanda Gibson and Andrea Davis, organized the event sponsorship, which included a bake sale and LCD HDTV raffle. The company also sponsored Mass State Trooper Bill Serpa’s run of the Boston Marathon. The entire effort raised $2,000.

Over the past two years OPT has helped raise over $4000 to benefit Emma’s Hope for a Cure.

The MAD Committee was founded in 2005 to boost team morale and to help serve the local community through teamwork, which is one of the company’s Core Values. Since the implementation of this group, we have worked with several national and local organizations through donation of time or monetary fundraising. Several of the organizations are listed below:

The American Red Cross

Operation Give

Hurricane Katrina Fundraising

Walk For Hunger

ASPCA

The Jimmy Fund

United Way

Toys For Tots

Clinton House

American Cancer Society

Emma’s Hope For A Cure

SMOC – South Middlesex Opportunity Council

The MAD Committee holds events within the company such as Customer Service Week and other charitable events during the Boston Marathon, which runs directly past OnProcess Technology’s headquarters in Ashland, MA.
