Giving back, and being a good steward in the community, has always been a part of 52 values. As our business has grown, our ability to give to the community has grown as well.
The following organizations were recipients of contributions by 52 in 2007.
Project Pooch - Project Pooch pairs youths incarcerated at the MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility with homeless shelter dogs for over a decade. With guidance youths learn to train the dogs, groom them, and find them homes. The dogs leave the program ready to be great pets, while their trainers re-enter the community with new job and personal skills and an increased compassion and respect for all life.
Mercy Corps - Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities. In the last 29 years Mercy Corps has provided $1.3 billion to help people in over 100 nations.
Audubon Society of Portland - The Audubon Society promotes the understanding, enjoyment, and protection of native birds, other wildlife, and their habitat with a focus on the Pacific Northwest.
American Cancer Society - Cancer has touched too many families, including 52’s. Begun in 1946, the ACS has been instrumental in the fight by funding research, education, patient services, and advocacy.
52 is committed to these causes and committed to supporting our community.
