TransPerfect Achieves Record Fundraising for Toys for Tots

In an inspiring demonstration of corporate social responsibility, TransPerfect, the world's leading provider of language and AI solutions for global businesses, has successfully raised over $90,000 in toys for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. This remarkable feat, accomplished through its annual employee-led holiday fundraising campaign, marked the largest single-year contribution in the history of TransPerfect's participation in the initiative.

A Tradition of Giving Back

TransPerfect's commitment to philanthropy stretches back over 15 years. What began in 2010 with a modest collection of $700 in their New York office has grown into a significant tradition, fostering involvement from 27 offices across the United States and Canada. As highlighted by Max Weisman, head of IP at TransPerfect and the initiative's founder, the journey from a single office’s gathering to an expansive campaign encompassing multiple locations is a testament to the generosity and spirited teamwork of TransPerfect employees.

The breadth of the initiative this past year saw inventive fundraising activities, with all employee donations matched dollar for dollar by the company. The culmination of these efforts was a collective total of $90,398 raised, demonstrating not only the company's dedication but also the warm-hearted spirit of its staff.

The Essence of Toys for Tots

The Toys for Tots program, initiated by the U.S. Marine Corps, aims to deliver hope and joy to less fortunate children each holiday season. For nearly 75 years, the initiative has played a vital role in supporting disadvantaged youth, ensuring they receive new toys during the festive season. Beyond the holidays, Toys for Tots extends its support through year-round initiatives aimed at uplifting families in challenging circumstances.

TransPerfect staff members contributed to this mission by organizing diverse fundraising efforts, reinforcing the significance of collective action in making a difference. Phil Shawe, TransPerfect's President and Co-CEO, expressed his pride in the dedication shown by team members, emphasizing the profound emotional impact that these efforts have on children in need.

Looking Forward

As TransPerfect reflects on its achievements, the company is committed to continuing its tradition of giving back and exploring new ways to contribute to community well-being. The $90,000 contribution is not just a financial milestone; it's a representation of TransPerfect's core values of generosity and community engagement.
